De Cardinali Impubere is a Latin legal treatise by Johann Georg Estor, examining the legal and historical precedents for the appointment of underage cardinals. The work delves into the complexities of canon law and ecclesiastical history, exploring the qualifications, rights, and responsibilities of cardinals within the Catholic Church during the early modern period. Estor meticulously analyzes historical cases and legal arguments surrounding the eligibility of individuals who had not yet reached adulthood to hold such high office. This scholarly work offers valuable insights into the intersection of law, politics, and religion in shaping the institutional framework of the Church.
