| Abstract | Speakers will have a closer look how clergymen actively participated in some diverse matters directly related to the urban community. The haziness of the border between regular and secular is studied through some specific cases. Cédric Giraud's analysis of exchanges between different religious communities shows how thin the border is between monastic and scholastic theology. Stefaan Van Liefferinge will present a research on some biblical exegeses that can be considered as a conceptual framework for actual religious building activity. Walter Ysebaert will present how the same prelates were repetitively elected to serve as papal judges delegate and formed a restricted, influential group. |
