| Abstract | The study of the delegation of authority is a way to understand the running of the Church and of the papacy. We will ask both practical and theoretical sources about the vocabulary of the delegation/commission, examine the acts by which the pope entrust some large or isolated functions to somebody's care, to ascertain what are the origins of the power of the papal administration's members, what are the rules determining the hierarchy of powers in the daily running of this administration, and the part taken by personal networks in the determination of the authority's delegations. |
