Seit längerem beschäftigt mich die Frage ob die Eroberung von Konstantinopel und den Verlust der Hagia Sofia 1453 maßgeblich zu der Entscheidung beigetragen hat, eine große Petersdom in Rom zu bauen? Eine Kirche, die größer ist als die Hagia Sofia?
Interessanterweise habe ich diese Frage 2 LLM-Modelle gestellt: Bard von Google und ChatGPT von OpenAI. Die beiden Modelle kommen zu unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen:
Bard von Google beantwortet die Frage "did the ottoman conquest of constantinople contribute to the building of st peter?" mit folgender Antwort:
Yes, the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453 played a role in the funding of the construction of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans marked the end of the Byzantine Empire, which had been a major center of Christianity for centuries. In the aftermath of the conquest, many wealthy Byzantine nobles fled to Rome, bringing with them their wealth and cultural treasures. This influx of wealth helped to fund the construction of St. Peter's Basilica, which was begun in 1506.
The Ottomans also played a more direct role in the financing of the basilica. In 1505, Pope Julius II issued a bull called "Plenarium et irrefragabile fundamentum" which authorized the sale of indulgences to raise money for the construction of the basilica. The Ottomans, who controlled the Holy Land and controlled access to pilgrims, agreed to allow pilgrims to purchase indulgences in exchange for a portion of the proceeds. This arrangement generated a significant amount of revenue for the basilica, and it is estimated that the Ottomans contributed as much as 20% of the total cost of construction.
In addition to the influx of wealth from the Ottomans and the sale of indulgences, the construction of St. Peter's Basilica was also funded by donations from European monarchs and nobles. The basilica was seen as a symbol of the power and prestige of the Catholic Church, and many rulers were eager to contribute to its construction. As a result, St. Peter's Basilica was built over the course of centuries, with contributions from a variety of sources, including the Ottomans.
ChatGPT beantwortet die Frage "did the ottoman conquest of constantinople contribute to the building of st peter?" dagegen mit Nein:
No, the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453 did not directly contribute to the building of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. St. Peter's Basilica, a major Catholic church, was built in Rome, Italy, and its construction spanned over several centuries.
The construction of St. Peter's Basilica began in 1506 and was largely associated with the Renaissance era. The Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, while significant in its own right, was not a direct factor in the construction of St. Peter's Basilica. The Ottoman Empire and the Papal States had distinct geopolitical and religious contexts, and the events in one region did not directly influence the other in terms of architectural projects.
St. Peter's Basilica was built to replace the earlier Old St. Peter's Basilica, which was constructed in the 4th century AD. The new basilica was part of a larger effort by the Catholic Church to rejuvenate and enhance the spiritual center of Christianity. It was funded through various means, including the sale of indulgences, and designed by several renowned architects, including Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, each contributing to its construction and design over the years.
Was meint Ihr? Gibt es eine Kausalität zwischen den beiden Ereignissen?
