Pandulf of Pisa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the cardinal and papal historian. For later twelfth-century cardinal sometimes confounded with him, see Pandolfo da Lucca.

Pandulf of Pisa[1] was a twelfth-century Italian cardinal, and biographer of several contemporary popes;[2] these biographies were incorporated into the compilation called the Liber Pontificalis. Pandulfus was nephew of Cardinal .[3] Works attributed to him appeared in the Rerum Italicarum scriptores by Ludovico Antonio Muratori; some of those attributions have been changed.

According to Robinson[4] Pandulf's biography of Gelasius II is inaccurate in electoral details, and had a polemic purpose relating to the schism of 1130.[5] Pandulf is thought to have been an intimate friend of Gelasius, and in the schism after 1130 supported antipope Anacletus II against Innocent II. Anacletus named him cardinal-deacon of SS. Cosma e Damiano; as such, he signed the bulls of this antipope on February 8, 1131, December 7, 1134 and March 21, 1137.[6]
