| Abstract | Paper -a:
In the late 12th century the papal curia received petitioners from all over Latin Christian Europe who came to Rome to present their case at the Curia. This paper examines how contemporary chroniclers depicted the experiences of the petitioners and how such chroniclers perceived the city and the Roman curia c. 1190-1227.
Paper -b:
Abstract to be provided.
Paper -c:
The Chronicle of Salimbene de Adam possesses more than 136 mentions of different envoys and embassies from the 13th century. They are agents sent by the Pope, the northern-Italian communes and the emperor. Despite all the attention dedicated to this book by historians, little has been said about the role given by the Franciscan friar to these individuals in his narrative. How does Salimbene describe them? Does he draw different traits for these agents according to the power who sent them? And if he does, what is the meaning of this? Reflecting about these questions is the aim of this paper.
