Abstract

This study looks at a specific aspect of papal elections during the Gregorian Reform: papal designation. In separate steps, the study endeavours to look at both the historical and developmental context of papal designation, as well as the use of papal nomination for individual elections that took place during the Gregorian Reform period. The text also uses an analysis of electoral procedures to evaluate the significance of designation, specifically its actual influence on the decisions made by electoral participants. The designation does not appear to be a procedural and legislative feature but instead more of a practical and legitimising tool for defending a chosen procedure.
