Talk:Albert of Mainz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The book "The World of Humanism: 1453-1517" by Myron P. Gilmore has a small section on Albert, suggesting that his [pallium] was larger than it would have been otherwise because he was already a Bishop (lower costs the first time through discourages excessive grasping?). Gilmore goes on to say that the recent churn in the [Archbishopric of Mainz] (Albert was the third in the decade) meant that the parishioners (who pay extra in tithes at the beginning, so the new Bishops can pay off their debts) were really stretched.
- That's intriguing. I hope you will add the information to the article, with the reference. If you need any help, please let me know. qp10qp 20:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
