Results of the Third Edition of the “E. Boaga” Research Grant”

ThumbServlet

We are delighted to inform you that the Third edition of the Research Scholarship named in memory of Fr. Emanuele Boaga has been awarded to Dr. Jacopo De Santis, Doctor of Philosophy in History and Social Sciences and a paleographer archivist with a diploma from the APD School of the State Archives of Rome. They will be working on a project entitled “The archive of the convent of Santa Maria in Traspontina: a proposal for reordering and inventorying”.

The documentary complex of Traspontina, preserved at the AGOC and partly at the State Archives of Rome, comprises documentation relating to the period when the aforementioned convent housed the General Curia and was directly dependent on the Prior General. Consequently, it contains documents concerning not only the administration of the convent but also those relating to the administration of the curials: procurators, postulators, treasurers-general, etc. It is precisely in this commingling and overlap of jurisdictions that the critical issues, but also the extreme interest, of this reorganisation lie.
