As in previous years, the Max-Planck-Institut für europäische Rechtsgeschichte invites doctoral students and young researchers to participate in the seminar “Studientage”. This year the focus will be on “The Pope, the Roman Curia and the World. Research tools for History and History of Law”. The seminar will take place in Frankfurt am Main from 16th to 18th June 2014.

Three work sessions will be held: 1. Heritage: The roman dicasteries of long duration; 2. Modernity: Reformation and reforms of the roman curia; 3. Towards the contemporary era: New forms of communication with the world. The seminar will also focus on the methodology of archival investigation, with special attention to historical and legal-historical issues, and the description of specific competences and tools that are essential for the purposes of archival work.

The seminar is organised by Olivier Poncet (École nationale des chartes, Paris) and Benedetta Albani (MPI für europäische Rechtsgeschichte). The lessons will be held by researchers and archivists specialised in several disciplines and with long experience in the Roman archive and library research.
