ROTA, COURT OF

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 756 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
ROTA, COURT OF , one of the departments of the medieval papal organization, existing alongside the Dataria, the Poenitentiaria, the two Signaturas (S. Gratiae and S. Justitiae), and other bureaus. The Rota was the supreme
court
  of Christendom. It consisted of twelve members, three from Rome, two from Spain, one each from Bologna, Ferrara, Venice,
Milan
 , Germany, France, and (alternately) Tuscany or Perugia. It declined in importance when the Signitura Justitiae was set above it as the
court
  of appeal for Italy, and more so as the geographical
jurisdiction
  of the
pope
  was gradually lessened. After the Council of Trent the old arrangements were replaced by the Congregations, permanent committees of cardinals which deal with definite branches of business. The Rota, however, was restored to its functions as supreme court of appeal by
Pope
  Pius X. in 1908 (see CURIA
ROMANA
 ).
