Papato, scuole e capitoli cattedrali: alcuni esempi dalla cappella papale (secoli XII-XIII)

Abstract

The contribution aims to investigate the link between the papal chapel and the cathedral schools, thus underlining the connection between the papacy and the training of clerics in the middle of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Drawing on the historiography on cathedral schools and chapters, I set out to analyze this link by first examining explicit examples on the education of members of the papal chapel, then, in a second step, the signs of their education from the tasks assigned to them. Finally, I pointed out the link between the papal chapel and cathedral schools on the basis of the presence of papal subdeacons precisely where a famous cathedral school was present.
