The coronation-edict, which formed the basis of all subsequent legislation against heresy, was drawn up by the papal curia, and sent, a fortnight before the ceremony, to the Legate Bishop of Tusculum, with orders to procure the imperial signature and return it, so that it could be published under the emperor's name in the church of St. Peter (Raynald. ann. 1220, No. 19.--Hist. Dipl. I. II.

880). Nothing could seem a plainer duty to an ecclesiastic of the time than that the Church should stimulate the temporal ruler to the sharpest persecution of heresy.

It was doubtless the outlawry of heretics p.r.o.nounced by the edicts of Frederic which enabled the Inquisition to establish the settled principle that the heretic could be captured and despoiled at any time and by any person, and that the spoiler could retain his goods--provided always that he was not an official of the Holy Office (Tract. de Inquisitione, Doat, x.x.xVI.).

Guillem Arnaud generally qualifies himself as acting under commission from the legate, but sometimes as appointed by the Dominican provincial.

In several sentences on the Seigneurs de Niort, in February and March, 1236, he acts with the Archdeacon of Carca.s.sonne, both under legatine authority. As yet there was evidently no settled organization (Coll.

Doat, XXI. 160, 163, 165, 166).

The system devised by the councils of Languedoc became generally current. In 1248 Innocent IV. ordered the Archbishop and Inquisitor of Narbonne to send a copy of their rules of procedure to the Provincial of Spain and Raymond of Pennaforte, to be followed in the Peninsula (Baluz.

et Mansi I. 208); and their canons are frequently cited in the manuals of the mediaeval Inquisition.

About 1330 Bernard Gui (Practica P. IV.--Coll. Doat, x.x.x.) quotes the provisions of the bull as still among the privileges of the Italian inquisitors.

It was sometimes a work of some labor and time for the inquisitor to obtain his royal letters-patent. When, in 1269, the Franciscans Bertrand de Roche and Ponce des Rives were appointed inquisitors of Forcalquier, they were obliged to travel to Palermo, where Charles of Anjou happened to be residing, and whence he gave them letters, August 4, 1269, to his seneschal and other officials.--Archivio di Napoli, Registro 6, Lett. D, fol. 180.--Cf. Regist. 20, Lett. B, fol. 91.
