An approach to the episcopal documentation in the early modern age, XVITH-XVIIIth Centuries

Abstract

Studies about episcopal Diplomatic in the Early Modern Age in Spain are scarce. Using documentary sources from different dioceses, the autor proposes an approach to this question throughout the study of the conscriptio and the description of some of the most significant documentary types. Operations such as registration or taxation are studied too. After remarking some differences, the paper insists on the common features of the episcopal documentation of the different circumscriptions, studied not only from the typological point of view but in the uses, which structured the generation of documents
