Abstract (EN):
In 1130, Rome was shaken by the elections of two popes: Innocent II and Anacletus
II. The double election resulted in a schism on a European scale that lasted until the death
of Anacletus in 1138. The abbey of Montecassino initially placed itself among the Anacletians
but changed sides in 1137. This article analyses the Altercatio pro cenobio Casinensi, a work
written by Peter the Deacon, a Cassinese monk, describing the negotiations eventually leading
to Montecassino’s support for Innocent. The Altercatio will prove to be an attack on Roman
primacy and a defence of the libertas and autonomy of Montecassino, stressing its link with
the emperor and developing an ecclesiology rivalling that produced in Rome.
