Term: PARTES BENEFICII
Definition: Parts of a benefice. In the past, when a person was granted a benefice (a position or income in the church), it was often divided into different parts. These parts were called partes beneficii. For example, one part might include the right to collect tithes from a certain area, while another part might include the responsibility of performing certain religious duties.
A more thorough explanation:
PARTES BENEFICII
Parts of a benefice.
Parts of a benefice refer to the different portions or shares of a church benefice that were assigned to different individuals or institutions. In medieval times, benefices were often divided into parts to provide income for multiple people or organizations.
For example, a bishop might assign one part of a benefice to a monastery, another part to a priest, and a third part to a university. Each part would provide a source of income for the designated recipient.
Another example would be a benefice being divided into parts for different members of a noble family, with each part providing income for a different family member.
