What reading level is The Defensor Pacis of Marsiglio of Padua volume 8 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He pro- poses eight possible meanings rising from a simple jurisdiction in spiritual matters to that absolute authority which belongs to the words of Christ alone. All these meanings he rejects as sufficiently covered by what he has already said as to the real nature of papal sovereignty. Only in the sense of a priority or leadership (principalitas) over other priests will he admit the use of the phrase at all. What really interests him here as elsewhere is what ought specially to interest us, ...namely the historical process by which the claim to plenitude of power has actually established itself.
He is ready to accept from the beginning what he calls a cura animarum generalis, a general oversight of the spiritual life of Christendom. Thereupon followed — perhaps for gain — a claim to the power of absolution, then the practice of issuing decrees as to ritual observances. Then the imposition of fasts and other restrictions upon the laity as a means to avert calami- ties, and with this the proclamation of punishments for viola- tion of such restrictions — and all this under the guise of pious MARSIGLIO OF PADUA, DEFENSOR PACIS 61 ceremonial.
