Abstract | In this session we will take a look at the ecclesiastical network in Italy and Hispania. Isabelle Mossong will discuss epigraphic evidence of the involvement of various powerful lay figures in church building and their influence on ecclesiastical networks in Italy. Marta Szada will examine how non-ordained individuals (in this case, an itinerant monk) interacted with the clerical organization and the tensions this created. Finally, Nicola Meyrick will look at the relationships between certain ecclesiastical figures in 8th-century Hispania associated with the Adoptionist controversy. |
