Abstract:This article examines the overlooked Council of Carthage of 525 to show how its convener, Bishop Boniface of Carthage, used the council in an attempt to re-establish power over North Africa's Nicene bishops, who lacked clear lines of authority due to Vandal Homoian rule. This article reconstructs the council's dramatic, complicated, and highly orchestrated two days of discussion. The bishops spent day one re-stating Boniface's basis of authority and assembling earlier canons into precedents to confirm his power. On day two, the bishops heard a complex jurisdictional case involving a certain Abbot Peter and his monastery, which Boniface used to confirm the power the council had granted him. When this council is discussed, Abbot Peter's case is stripped from its context as a simple precedent for medieval privileges and immunities. I demonstrate how Merovingian Gallic bishops made the council into a precedent by ignoring Boniface's goals. Notably, the article illustrates how a North African late antique bishop's attempt to expand his power outside of state support became an ideal way for early medieval Gallic bishops to claim continuity with the past that actually created a break in their present.

525 年迦太基会议与后帝国主教权的建立

摘要:本文考察了被忽视的 525 年迦太基委员会,以展示其召集人、迦太基主教博尼法斯如何利用该委员会试图重新建立对北非尼西亚主教的权力,这些主教因汪达尔人而缺乏明确的权力界限规则。这篇文章重构了委员会为期两天的戏剧性、复杂和精心策划的讨论。主教们花了第一天的时间重申博尼法斯的权威基础,并将早期的教规组合成先例,以确认他的权力。第二天,主教们审理了一个复杂的司法案件,涉及某个方丈彼得及其修道院,博尼法斯用它来确认理事会授予他的权力。当讨论这个议会时,方丈彼得' 作为中世纪特权和豁免的一个简单先例,这个案例被从其背景中剥离出来。我展示了 Merovingian 高卢主教如何通过无视 Boniface 的目标而使理事会成为先例。值得注意的是,这篇文章说明了一位北非已故古董主教如何在国家支持之外扩大其权力的尝试成为中世纪早期高卢主教声称与过去的连续性的理想方式,这实际上在他们的现在造成了突破。
