Quia causa ipsa non poterat apud sedem apostolicam terminari. Innocenzo III e la controversia tra monaci e canonici di S. Ambrogio a Milano

The different stages of the trial are clarified thanks to some unpublished documents, preserved in the Archives of the Basilica of St. Ambrose and in the State Archives of Milan.
