The Constitutiones Sanctæ Matris Ecclesiæ, informally known as the Constitutiones Aegidianae, were seven books of law which formed the first historic constitution of the Papal States. They were redacted at Fano by Cardinal Albornoz between 29 April and 1 May 1357 at an assembly of all the vicars of the pontifical territories. The Constitutiones formed the highest law of a vast stretch of central Italy, including the modern regions of Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Umbria, and Lazio, until 1816.

  • The Constitutiones Sanctæ Matris Ecclesiæ, informally known as the Constitutiones Aegidianae, were seven books of law which formed the first historic constitution of the Papal States. They were redacted at Fano by Cardinal Albornoz between 29 April and 1 May 1357 at an assembly of all the vicars of the pontifical territories. The Constitutiones formed the highest law of a vast stretch of central Italy, including the modern regions of Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Umbria, and Lazio, until 1816. Under the Constitutiones, the Papal States were divided into five provinces: the Duchy of Spoleto, March of Ancona, Romagna, Patrimony of Saint Peter, and Campagna e Marittima. Each province fell under the direction of a rector appointed personally by the pope. Each rector was charged with the selection of a council of seven justices for his province. The purpose of the council was to counter corruption and each justice had to belong to a different province then the one to which they were appointed. The rector also had the power to name the chief of the armed forces of his province, but was barred from bestowing the office on one of his relatives.
  • Les Constitutions égidiennes ou plus exactement les « Constitutiones Sanctæ Matris Ecclesiæ » sont un recueil de lois, divisé en six livres, concernant les États pontificaux, promulgué à Fano à l'occasion d'un parlement convoqué par le cardinal Egidio Albornoz, légat et vicaire général des États pontificaux, le 29 avril 1357.
  • Le Costituzioni egidiane o più esattamente Constitutiones Sanctæ Matris Ecclesiæ sono una raccolta di leggi, divise in sei libri, riguardanti lo Stato Ecclesiastico, promulgate a Fano durante il parlamento convocato il 29 aprile 1357 dal cardinale Egidio Albornoz, legato e vicario generale degli Stati Papali. Tali Costituzioni, in vigore dal 1357 al 1816, oltre che elencare le disposizioni emanate dai pontefici nel tempo, spesso ignorate, chiarivano i rapporti con i feudatari e regolamentavano le questioni giurisdizionali interne e con gli Stati esteri. Fornivano, inoltre, un nuovo assetto territoriale dell'intero stato, che risultava suddiviso nelle seguenti province: Campagna e Marittima, Ducato di Spoleto, Marca anconitana, Patrimonio di San Pietro e Romagna. Queste erano affidate a dei rettori, dotati di poteri amplissimi in campo politico, amministrativo, finanziario, giurisdizionale e militare, ma che dovevano sottostare all' autorità suprema del legato pontificio.
