| Abstract | Some new perspectives on the working of diocesan administrations can be opened by enquiries upon their uses of writing. The distribution of the various kinds of acts between the episcopal officers is a key to understand the distribution of responsibilities. It deals too with the problematic of authority's delegation and the one of the episcopal administration's and action's continuity beyond the individual temporalities: rules for notaries' recruitment, changes of chancery's methods, etc. are ways to study it. A comparative approach is essential to perceive how administrations grown upon same bases - the diocese - have evolved originals features. |
