The Curia and cultural contacts in Roman notarial acts in early Sixteenth Century
Main Article Content
Abstract
Research concerning foreign notaries who were accredited by the Roman Curia and employed after 1507, and their clients from all over Europe is seen to be a worthwhile endeavour. This research is possible largely thanks to the registration of legal transactions certified by the Col- lege of Archives’ writers. These transactions offer detailed insights into the social and economic developments and the the Roman Curia’s and the city’s appeal to visitors at a time of change in the wake the Sack of Rome and the Reformation. Personal networks show an ambivalent atti- tude, between desiring to keep one’s own identity and the wish to integrate into Roman society.
