聖俗管轄権の問題を中心に

抄録

The purpose of this paper is to re-investigate the conflict between the grand prince of Moscow and Kiprian, the Metropolitan of Moscow, which happened over each other’s jurisdiction in the second half of the fourteenth century and the early fifteenth century in Russia. In general, two groups of researchers have disputed each other. One argues that the jurisdiction of the Russian church was limited in this era, while the other group works from the completely opposite perspective, that is the church recovered their former rights and privileges. The author of this paper thinks that the researchers’ discussions were insufficient, and reexamined the primary sources such as ‘Kormchaia kniga’, acts which have not be used enough. The author also reexamined the situations of the tumultuous period of the Church, and the following results are obtained: 1) Kiprian aimed to make the Russian Church return to the one of the time of Metropolitans Feognost or Aleksii, with not only have merits but demerits as well. 2) Kiprian and the Grand Prince Vasilii I did not aim to interfere with the jurisdiction of each other. The changes, which, for example, were written in the act of 1392, were their convenience. So we cannot conclude this period is characterized by a confrontation between the two powers. Both of them sufficiently valued each other.
