Not without entering into competition with the curial judiciary
authority did the Council of Basel (1431-1449) demand conciliar
judicial authority patterned on the Roman Rota. The tried cases
were recorded by notaries of the Rota, as in this manuscript
written by Johannes Wydenroyd in the period between 15 March 1435
and 13 June 1439. This manuscript is the middle volume of three
remaining Rota manuals from the Council of Basel.
