| Abstract | This session, which allows some geographical (England, Francia occidentalis and orientalis, Italy, Lotharingia) and diachronic (7th-11th centuries) comparisons, is devoted to episcopal translations in the Early Middle Ages from a new point of view: it will not investigate Canon Law in this matter and ask again for the reasons of the theoretical interdiction of moving bishops from a seat to another and for the juristic tolerated exceptions, but it will focus on the consequences of a move, for the bishop and the communities: what does it mean in a juridical, personal, and cultural point of view? How does the community welcome (or not) its new bishop? What is the fate of the Church and clerics, the moving bishop has left? Two papers deal with peculiar cases and one paper is devoted to a more regional approach. |
