On October 24th 2025, the “George Barițiu” Institute of History, of the Romanian Academy branch in Cluj-Napoca, together with the TRANS.SCRIPT Centre, will organize the International Workshop Late Mediaeval and Early Modern Papal Documentation in Local Context. Contrasts and Nuances. The event is supported by the project GAR 2023-107: RO-VAT. Papal and Curial Letters in Romania (ca. 1250-1600).
This one-day workshop intends to explore the intersections between local and papal history, focusing on relevant instances in which the vantage point of the pontifical documentation is supported, nuanced, or even contradicted and substituted by pieces of information transmitted in close spatial correlation with those who sought guidance from the authoritative voice of the Apostolic See. Certainly, textually transmitted sources are the most obvious supporters of this collaborative line of argumentation; however, elements of a material and/or visual nature can wonderfully suggest additional, fresh, and appropriate directions of investigation.
