This article analyzes the commentary of the Swiss canonist Felix Hemmerlin on two papal seals of Eugene IV and Gregory XII. The author criticizes the two documents because of their permissiveness towards the community of the Begardi.

The canonical and theological reflection on the two papal seals is, for Hemmerlin, the occasion to discuss the spiritual and theological landscape of the Rhineland at his time. The Glosa is examined here in relation to other three works of this author on the same theme and, more in general, to the thought of other late scholastic masters, such as Jean Gerson and Heymeric de Campo.
