hprints-00683151, version 2 - 19 Mar 2013 Appendix: Introduction to the speech as given in the manuscript Chig.I.VII.251 {137r} Oratio super electione loci pro futuro concilio ad reducendos Graecos habita Basileae in congregatione generali per dominum Eneam Silvium Senensem xv kal. Novembris 818 MCCCCXXXVI. [a] Magnae 819 saepe res atque arduae, patres reverendissimi, in hoc sacro concilio versatae terminataeque sunt, nulla tamen umquam vel major vel periculosior ea sint, de qua nunc consultatio vertitur. Non enim agitur modo de supplicationibus aut de principibus invicem conciliandis aut de coercenda 820 nonnullorum contumacia clericorum, sed de augmento fidei, de reductione Graecorum, de infinitarum paene animarum recuperatione, quarum consummatio 821 rerum magnum fructum, magnam gloriam sit allatura, omissio vero non solum nos, sed totam Latinam ecclesiam obscura fama denigret. Et cum hujus rei causa transferendum esse concilium affirmetis, sicuti mea fert opinio, pars non minima totius erit absoluta negotii, si tutum locum et rebus aptum conficiundis amplectemini. 818 October 17 819 magne 820 cohercenda 821 consumatio 158
hprints-00683151, version 2 - 19 Mar 2013 [a] Often have great and difficult matters, Reverend Fathers, been treated and concluded in this Holy Council, but until now none has been greater and more perilous than the one to be discussed today. For it does not concern petitions, nor the reconciliation of princes, nor curbing the defiance of some clerics, but it is about the advancement of the Faith, about reunion with the Greeks, and about the recovery of an almost infinite number of souls. Success in these matters will bring great results and great glory, whereas failure will give not only us, but also the whole Latin Church a bad and dark reputation. And as you declare that the cause of this is the issue of the relocation of the council, I think that the decisive factor in the solution of this matter will be that you accept a place that is safe and advantageous for the conduct of your affairs. 159
