Die katholische Kirche hatte immer das SelbstverstÃ¤ndnis, dass eine von Gott eingesetzte Hierarchie die Sicherheit der Tradition garantierte; von daher ist es klar, dass die chronologischen Listen der PÃ¤pste, BischÃ¶fe, dann auch der KardinÃ¤le und KurienprÃ¤laten einen eigenen, unersetzbaren Wert darstellten. WÃ¤hrend die Papstkataloge und Bischofslisten bis in die Antike zurÃ¼ckreichten, setzt die Prosopographie kurialer AmtstrÃ¤ger erst im 16. Jahrhundert ein. FÃ¼r die katholische Kirche ist das Bewusstsein, dass Christus ihre Leitung eiÂner Sacra Hierarchia von geweihten AmtstrÃ¤gern Ã¼bertragen hat, konstitutiv. Dementsprechend hat es stets BemÃ¼hungen gegeben, die Namen dieser Hierarchen dem Vergessen zu entreiCen. Mit der Entwicklung zahlreicher neuer Amtsstufen und historischer EinzelÃ¤mter gehen daher auch Versuche Hand in Hand, die Prosopographie dieser MÃ¤nner zu erlassen.

La Chiesa Cattolica Ã¨ sempre stata consapevole del fatto che una gerarchia istituita da Dio avrebbe garantito la certezza della tradizione; per questo Ã¨ chiaro che le liste cronologiche dei papi, vescovi e poi anche dei cardinali e dei prelati della Curia rappresentassero un valore proprio e insostituibile. Mentre i cataloghi dei papi e le liste dei vescovi risalivano fino allâantichitÃ , la Prosopografia dei titolari dâuffici presso la Curia comincia soltanto nel Cinquecento. Per la Chiesa Cattolica Ã¨ fondamentale la consapevolezza che Cristo abbia conferito la sua direzione ad una Sacra Hierarchia di titolari consacrati. Corrispondentemente ci si Ã¨ sempre sforzati di sottrarre allâoblio i nomi degli esponenti della gerarchia. Con lâevoluzione di tanti nuovi gradi dâufficio e di singoli uffici storici si muovono di pari passo i tentativi di emanare la Prosopografia di questi uomini.

According to the self-image of the Catholic Church, a hierarchy established by God would guarantee the maintenance of tradition. It is, thus, comprehensible that the chronological lists of Popes, bishops, but also of cardinals and curial prelates represented a special and irreplaceable value on their own. While reÂcords of Popes and lists of bishops reach back to ancient times, the prosopography of curial officers has its starting point only in the sixteenth centuryz For the Catholic Church, the consciousness of Christ as initiator of their Hierarchia of sanctified office holders is constitutivez Therefore, there have always been attempts to avoid that the hierarchâs names could fall into oblivion. By developing a huge number of new office degrees as well as single positions, hence, an attempt is being made to remember the prosopography of these men.
