| Abstract | The session is interested in enhancing our knowledge of the role of writing in local and regional administration. Andrea Puglia studies the relations between the formal structures of written artefacts and forms of power and the imposition of authority in the society of the bishops of Pisa, Volterra and Lucca from 1050 to 1150. Els de Paermentier's paper will deal with the unwritten agreements and measures within the chancery by which the clerks established a 'chancery' identity and the impact of establishing a written rule. Véronique Julerot dedicates her paper to the obviously unwritten rules to be extracted from the testimonies in the case against the election of Gérard Gobaille to the bishop of Sens (1492). |
