IL CAPITOLO DELLA CATTEDRALE DI BERGAMO NEL XIV SECOLO

The dissertation investigates the Cathedral chapter of Bergamo in fourteenth century and focuses on the relationships among bishops and chapter members, seeking to reconstitute the social composition of this group, but also the chapter itself as an institution. I have studied the statutes of the chapter, the dignities and minor officials, the residentiary system, prebends and their value, daily life in church. A particular attention is also reserved to sources and their authors, the notaries, a group that lies between laical society and canons.
