Mikolaj Duthorow and his error condemnatus ab Ecclesia . Polish Dominicans, Heresy, and New Piety Currents in the First Half of the Fourteenth Century The purpose of this study is to analyse a fragment of the documents of a provincial chapter of the Polish Domicans from 1338, containing a poenitentia imposed on the Polish Dominican Mikolaj Duthorow and an ordinatio addressed to local representatives of the Inquisition. Mikolaj Duthorow was probably a member of the Dominican monastery in Gryfia (German: Greifswald), where as a preacher he voiced views regarded by his co-brethren as error condemnatus ab Ecclesia . A theological-historical analysis enabled Tomasz Galuszka to show that the doctrine proclaimed by Mikolaj contains distinct references to the thoughts and activity of two German Dominicans: Master Eckhart of Hochheim and Heinrich Seuse. The case of Mikolaj Duthorow inclined the Polish chapter (1338) to take a closer look at the orthodoxy of the remaining members of the province. It thus transferred to papal inquisitors the right to trace and try those brethren whose lifestyle, religious practices, and views were evidently at odds with universally accepted monastic customs. The provincial chapter from 1338 addressed its edict to papal inquisitors, probably: Mikolaj, Jan Schwenkenfeld and Stanislaw of Cracow. The process of entrusting them with potestas libera incarcerandi and inclusion into the Dominican penitentiary system was an important stage in the history of the papal Inquisition in Poland. From that time, the range of the activity of local inquisitors was almost un limited – they could deal not only with heretics sensu stricto but also with errantes within the province. The case of Mikolaj Duthorow comprises original evidence of the reaction of Polish Dominicans to new devotion currents appearing in the first half of the fourteenth century and accentuating mystical experiences, individualism, and emotional life.
