In nomine Domini

In nomine Domini (Latin: In the name of the Lord) is a papal bull written by Pope Nicholas II. The bull was issued on 13 April 1059[note 1] and caused major reforms in the system of papal election, most notably establishing the cardinal-bishops as the sole electors of the pope, with the consent of minor clergy.
