Abstract | In this session contributors will look at two ways in which editorial projects relating to episcopal archives have shaped our understanding of the exercize of episcopal office and episcopal ideology. The first concerns past projects, and investigates to what extent these have helped formulate a realistic understanding of the the aforementioned practices and ideologies; the second concerns the ways in which future projects may correct the one-sided perspectives of the past, or provide unexpected insights into the interrelatedness of archival and non-archival material. |
