The term "plenary" in literature is often used to evoke a complete or full measure of authority, power, or official capacity. In Thomas Carlyle's writings on the French Revolution, for instance, "Plenary Court" appears repeatedly, portraying a complete or definitive assembly—sometimes convened only once ([1]), or deemed as literally having "expired in the birth" ([2]). Carlyle’s use emphasizes its role in finalizing or legally formalizing decisive moments in events ([3], [4], [5], [6]). Beyond the judicial context, plenary is also employed in religious and political settings: James George Frazer writes of "plenary absolution" granted by the Church on May Day ([7]), while Plutarch discusses the potentially overwhelming effect of claiming "plenary powers" ([8]), and in a diplomatic context, delegates from the south are noted to act with “plenary power” ([9]). Additionally, Dante's reference to a "Plenary Indulgence" during a Jubilee in Rome ([10]) further demonstrates its association with complete spiritual remission. Collectively, these examples reveal that "plenary" is used to signal an uncompromised, total, and authoritative scope across historical, legal, religious, and political narratives.
