Pseudo-Isidore is the pseudonym given to the scholar or group of scholars responsible for the Pseudo-Isidorean (False) Decretals, the most extensive and influential set of forgeries found in medieval Canon law. The works were probably produced c 842 in Metz. The author, a French cleric calling himself Isidore Mercator, created false documents purportedly by early church popes, demonstrating that supremacy of the papacy dated back to the church's oldest traditions. The author's motive was to protect Frankish bishops from both archbishops and kings, by asserting the importance of the Pope. The work aimed first of all at establishing the bishops' right of appeal to the pope from their metropolitans.

  • Pseudo-Isidore is the pseudonym given to the scholar or group of scholars responsible for the Pseudo-Isidorean (False) Decretals, the most extensive and influential set of forgeries found in medieval Canon law. The works were probably produced c 842 in Metz. The author, a French cleric calling himself Isidore Mercator, created false documents purportedly by early church popes, demonstrating that supremacy of the papacy dated back to the church's oldest traditions. The author's motive was to protect Frankish bishops from both archbishops and kings, by asserting the importance of the Pope. The work aimed first of all at establishing the bishops' right of appeal to the pope from their metropolitans. In some manuscripts, the decretals include the Donation of Constantine, in which Constantine grants Pope Sylvester I secular authority over all Western Europe. Thanks to this forgery in the collection, the decretals became one of the most persuasive forgeries in the history of the West. The decretals have been universally recognized as forgeries, thanks to the work of Lorenzo Valla in 1440.
