The strong use of the attributive genitive, of participles, gerunds and gerundives, (p.
367) rare words and pleonasm, the visual impact of pictures (e.g. chrismons) and of
the internal rhyme appropriately placed clearly indicates his style.
His internal rhyme reads:
“quae massam…
olim fraude falsitatis deceptam
patria naturalis sinceritas pulsam
merito…trusam
cirographum…subituram.”
“quorum atria pars…transvolans…
altera vero…exulans…”
Some expressions reappear in a similar way in later charters.
C. S. 1343: “patria naturalis sinceritas”
C. S. 677: “patria indoeptae pacis”
C. S. 1343: “gaudia beatudinis illectus”
C. S. 677: “amore felicitatis illectus”
The Exposition also appears again later, even if the words are different.
C. S. 1343: “et ad nanciscendam…coronam”
C. S. 677: “ad adipiscendam…misericordiam”
The similarity of style is reflected clearly in these few phrases. The divided dating
clause and the not yet rigid Dispositive section characterise both charters as a
preliminary stage, an experiment. It is a completely natural process when, at a later
date, the still separate sections fuse together.
Before these two there are another two simultaneously issued charters, which we can
label as being the first attempt. Both documents are absolutely identical. These are the
charters: C. S. 663 and 664. Once again we encounter the Proem in the word-rich,
illustrative, splendid, yet dark language. The internal rhyme is more strongly
pronounced here.
“salutifera animarum gaudia ac multifidia donorum spiramina…”
“praerogante quibus…consumitur felicitasque aeterna…adquiritur…”
“mirando perpetualiter et regendo naturaliter…”
“Quae tonantis proles…descedens secum nobis…deferens.”
There are also clear similarities to C. S. 669.
1. Both: “novissimus labilis vitae temporibus”
C. S. 663: “ad oblitteranda peccamina”
C. S. 669: “ad demenda…peccamina”
