Thruth and propaganda
The
read of Historia ecclesiae Anglicorum of Ordericus Vitalis(1075-1142) shows,
for
his silence, a thruth, it is could show very odd, because a thruth is so solely
said;
buti
s is possible thata thruth isn’t said and it become thruth; what is this
thruth?
A
question that has name Constitutum Constantini, this is Order of Constantine
that
at 1440 was denied by Lorenzo Valla, an Italian intellectual and philologist,
that has
shownevery
contraddiction and falsehood of this document, whit which the city of Rome
was
donated to pope Sylvester by Constantine; today we know perfectly that
this
documenti s false, and that was written at 9th century.
Ordericus
Vitalis helped us because during read of life of Sylvester pope
never
is mentioned this document, he has written history of Church
from
Christ and he has written lifes of popes too, but this document
isn’t
in life of pope Sylvester; we can think that Ordericus doesen’t known it,
but
we can think that the he has took the lifes from Liber pontificalis,
a
book with lifes of popes, and this document is denied at 1440, as I have said
above;
then
he doesn’t writes about Constitutum because is document was not so widespread,
because evidently very much interests were present and the Church wanted not provoke
problems both itself that his policy.
