La prassi relativa alle indulgenze ebbe una prima importante sistemazione con le costituzioni 60 e 62 del IV concilio lateranense, che fissarono le autorità competenti a rilasciarle e la loro ampiezza. Fu soprattutto la costituzione 71, con la quale si intendeva organizzare la crociata, a sviluppare i modi e le occasioni utili per lucrare l'indulgenza plenaria, l'unica che era esclusiva competenza del papa e che non prevedeva limiti temporali. In seguito fu proprio l'indulgenza plenaria, grazie alla predicazione dei Mendicanti, a sua volta preceduta dalla riflessione teologica e dalla pratica della predicazione elaborata nelle scuole di Parigi, a offrire al papato un prezioso strumento per diffondere le direttive romane. Furono inoltre i Mendicanti con il domenicano Ugo di Saint-Cher a elaborare la dottrina del tesoro della Chiesa, dal quale attingere i benefici spirituali garantiti con le indulgenze, una dottrina poi fissata nel diritto canonico grazie alla Summa dell'Ostiense.

Abstract
The practice of indulgences had an important first arrangement with the Constitutions 60 and 62 of the Fourth Lateran Council, which set the competent authorities to release them and their breadth. It was above all the Constitution 71, with which it was intended to organize the crusade, to develop the ways and the opportunities useful to profiting the plenary indulgence, the only one which was the exclusive competence of the pope and which did not foresee temporal limits. Then it was the plenary indulgence, thanks to the preaching of the Mendicant Friars, to offer the papacy a valuable tool to spread the Roman directives. It was preceded by the theological reflection and the practice of the preaching elaborated in the schools of Paris, The Friars were also with the Dominican Ugo of Saint-Cher to elaborate the doctrine of the Treasury of the Church, from which to draw the spiritual benefits guaranteed with indulgences, a doctrine then fixed in Canon law thanks to the Summa of the Ostiense.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
