| Summary: | From the late eighteenth century, more and more men and women wanted to marry their cousins or in-laws. In this case, bridal couples had to apply for a papal dispensation and this meant a hurdled, lengthy and also expensive procedure. This book shows that applicants in four dioceses - Brixen, Chur, Salzburg and Trent - took very different paths through the thicket of bureaucracy to achieve their goal. Ab dem ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert wollten immer mehr Männer und Frauen ihre Cousinen und Cousins, Schwägerinnen und Schwäger heiraten. In diesem Fall mussten die Brautpaare um eine päpstliche Dispens ansuchen, und dies war ein hürdenreiches, langwieriges und teures Unterfangen. Das Buch zeigt, dass die "Bittwerber" in vier Diözesen - Brixen, Chur, Salzburg und Trient - dabei sehr unterschiedliche Wege durch das Dickicht der Bürokratie einschlugen, um ihr Ziel zu erreichen. |
