Bishops and documentary cultures in transjurane Burgundy (10th-13th centuries)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The behaviours of the scribes who (in a dynamic relationship of collaboration and autonomy) worked for the bishops of transjurane Burgundy are placed in correlation with the transformation of documentary cultures and institutional frameworks between the end of the Carolingian order and the age of territorial principalities. The construction of episcopal special documents depended on a bricolage of textual and graphic elements originating from both the royal model of “public” document and “private” documentary types and is here analysed in reference to the evolution of the bishops’ political and institutional role.
