Abstract
Abstract This article analyses the discussion of the Donation of Constantine contained in the Granarium, an encyclopedia compiled by the abbot of St. Albans, John Whethamstede, in the 1430s. Particular attention is given to Whethamstede’s list of reasons to doubt the veracity of the Donation, which differ in certain ways from the contemporaneous and better known criticisms of the Donation made by Nicolas of Cusa, Lorenzo Valla and Reginald Pecock. The article considers the sources and motivations for Whethamstede’s discussion, which reveals that criticism of the Donation was more widespread and more deeply rooted at this time than has previously been appreciated.
摘要本文分析了圣奥尔本斯修道院院长约翰·惠瑟姆斯泰德于1430年代编纂的百科全书《粮仓》中关于君士坦丁捐赠的论述。特别要注意的是，Whethamstede列出了怀疑捐赠真实性的理由，这些理由在某些方面不同于同时代的、更广为人知的对尼古拉斯·库萨(Nicolas of Cusa)、洛伦佐·瓦拉(Lorenzo Valla)和雷金纳德·佩科克(Reginald Pecock)对捐赠的批评。本文考虑了Whethamstede讨论的来源和动机，揭示了对捐赠的批评在这个时候比以前所认识的更广泛和更深入。
