Pandulf of Pisa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This page is not about Cardinal Pandolfo Masca of Pisa of the later twelfth century, nor Pandulph the papal legate to England.
Pandulf of Pisa[1]was a twelfth century Italian Cardinal, and biographer of several contemporary popes[2]. He was nephew of Hugo of Alatri[3].
Works attributed to him appeared in the Rerum Italicarum scriptores by Ludovico Antonio Muratori; some of those attributions have been changed. He was once thought to have been a continuator of the Liber Pontificalis; but this view was dropped in the mid-nineteenth century[4].
According to Robinson[5] Pandulf's biography of Gelasius II is inaccurate in electoral details, and had a polemic purpose relating to the schism of 1130[6]. Pandulf is thought to have been an intimate friend of Gelasius. Robinson also states that Pandulf's cardinalate[7] came from antipope Anacletus.
