Journal articles on the topic 'Archivo Diocesano'

Los archivos eclesiásticos españoles suponen una de las principales fuentes documentales para estudiar los aspectos religiosos, sociales, económicos y culturales, no sólo de España, sino también de los territorios donde la iglesia católica tuvo algún tipo de presencia o influencia. En este artículo nos proponemos aproximarnos a estos custodios de la memoria desde las particularidades propias del Archivo Diocesano de Toledo. Su historia, sus secciones y series documentales más destacables y el trabajo diario que en él se desarrolla. Pero también su problemática y las líneas de mejora que deben ser abordadas como proyecto de futuro para la adaptación a la realidad archivística actual.

El nacimiento del Archivo Histórico Diocesano del Obispado de Canarias1 tiene suorigen en el traslado por Bula del Papa Eugenio IV -dada en Florencia el 25 de agosto de1485-, desde el Rubicón de Lanzarote a la isla de Gran Canaria. El documento más antiguoque se conserva se corresponde con el primer libro de Bautismo de la Iglesia del Sagrario quecomienza en 1496.

El artículo da a conocer una traza de la iglesia de Santa María de San Sebastián conservada en el Archivo Histórico Provincial de Zaragoza, con la planta del templo gótico existente en 1539 y la capilla que Alonso de Idiáquez, secretario del emperador Carlos V y su esposa solicitaron construir próxima al presbiterio. El estudio también proporciona datos inéditos de la ampliación del edificio por la cabecera a fines del Quinientos, fruto de la consulta del Archivo Diocesano de Pamplona.

El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en mostrar la existencia, al menos desde mediados del ochocientos, de dos redes de asistencia sanitaria en el mundo rural mallorquín. Una formada por profesionales sanitarios como médicos y farmacéuticos, encuadrados en el marco de la administración local. Otra formada por religiosas pertenecientes a congregaciones femeninas dedicadas a la educación infantil y juvenil, asi como al cuidado de enfermos. La documentación procede por lo que se refiere a los médicos, de listas aparecidas en el Semanario Económico de Mallorca (1779-1820) y en el Boletín Oficial de la Provincia (desde 1834); por lo que se refiere a la población religiosa a fondos procedentes del Archivo Diocesano de Mallorca y de los Archivos de los respectivos conventos.

La investigación histórica sobre la Iglesia española contemporánea se ha ocupado, ante todo, de la dimensión política en las relaciones Iglesia-Estado, descuidando los datos sobre la labor asistencial y de promoción social. El Cardenal Quiroga Palacios, presidente de la Comisión episcopal de Caridad, era el máximo responsable de la distribución de la Ayuda Social Americana. Aparte de Bibliografía el artículo ofrece documentación del Archivo Histórico Diocesano de Santiago.

A mediados del siglo XIX, en el desamortizado Convento de Santo Domingo de la localidad alicantina de Orihuela, se instaló el primer Museo de Pinturas y Biblioteca Provincial por la Comisión Provincial de Monumentos de Alicante. Una tarea, realizada a partir de las Reales Órdenes de 13 de junio y 24 de julio de 1844, que marcó uno de los primeros hitos en torno a la gestión del patrimonio histórico-artístico de esta provincia. Sobre esta línea, y a través de los documentos custodiados en el Archivo de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando y en el Archivo Diocesano de Orihuela, se pretende reconstruir y poner de manifiesto este puntual, pero significativo, suceso histórico.

El espacio rioplatense asumió tempranamente una vocación republicana y liberal que se manifestó en dispositivos institucionales, legales y políticos, pero también influyó en otros aspectos más generales, como la educación, la salud y la muerte. Este último campo, que había sido dominado por la Iglesia católica, empezó a ser disputado por los nacientes gobiernos surgidos de las revoluciones de independencia. En este sentido, el objetivo de este estudio es analizar la manera en que el discurso republicano fue permeando las formas en las cuales el Estado provincial de Mendoza (Argentina) organizó las formas de morir –específicamente la administración de los cementerios– en el siglo XIX. Como corpus se utilizará la prensa, actas legislativas, leyes, reglamentos, digestos municipales y documentos de autoridades provinciales, municipales y eclesiásticas, sitos en el Archivo General de la Provincia de Mendoza, en el Archivo Legislativo y en el Archivo Diocesano de Mendoza.

El presente artículo pretende estudiar diferentes menciones de los hospitales a principios del siglo XV. La importancia de los hospitales como instituciones asistenciales se ve reflejada en la documentación eclesiástica y más concretamente en los registros de actos comunes del Archivo Diocesano de Zaragoza. Esta fuente histórica nos ha permitido analizar los ámbitos urbano y rural, la idea del hospitalero y la concesión de indulgencias. Se ha hecho hincapié en el papel de los obispos o arzobispos como garantes de estos establecimientos asistenciales.

En este estudio presentamos y analizamos nueva documentación sobre el platero Juan de Arfe y su trabajo en la custodia de la catedral de Ávila. El legajo, conservado en el Archivo Diocesano de Ávila, contiene un duplicado del contrato, correspondencia enviada por Arfe al cabildo, cartas de pago y de poder, y la tasación completa de la custodia. A través de estos documentos podremos conocer el nombre de algunos de los oficiales vinculados a su taller y detalles del proceso creativo de la pieza, ampliando significativamente el conocimiento de su primera gran obra.

RESUMENEste estudio analiza los impactos de sequías e inundaciones en el Bajo Segura durante la primera mitad del siglo xviii. Apoyándonos en trabajos precedentes, hemos tratado de aportar datos inéditos sobre las repercusiones de los riesgos naturales. Para ello hemos analizado los Libros de Actas Capitulares del cabildo eclesiástico oriolano, custodiados en el Archivo Diocesano de Orihuela. El resultado es un recorrido cronológico por los contrastes climáticos del marco geográfico, acentuando los episodios hidrometeorológicos más extremos y delimitando en el tiempo los períodos de mayor irregularidad. Igualmente nos aproximamos a la relación entre el clima y el devenir histórico de las vulnerables sociedades preindustriales desde la perspectiva de la referida institución religiosa. Para dotar de mayor dimensión al estudio, nos acercaremos sucintamente a las fundamentales rogativas pro pluvia y pro serenitate, y cómo estas evolucionaron entre 1700 y 1750.PALABRAS CLAVEOrihuela, Pequeña Edad del Hielo, sequías, inundaciones, riadas, rogativas. TITLEFrom droughts to fl oods: high climatic variability cases from the ecclesiastical sources of Orihuela (1700-1750)ABSTRACTThis study analyzes the droughts and floods impacts in Bajo Segura during the first half of the 18th century. Supporting us in the precedents works, we tried to provide unpublished data on the repercussions of natural risks. For this purpose, we have turned over and analyzed the Chapter Record Books of the Oriolan Ecclesiastical Chapter, kept in the Diocesan Archives of Orihuela (A.D.O). The result is a chronological journey through the climatic contrasts of the geographical frame, accentuating the most extreme hydrometeorological episodes and delimiting periods of greatest irregularity over time. We also approach the relationship between the climate and the historical evolution of the vulnerable pre-industrial societies from the aforementioned religious institution perspective. To give a greater dimension to the study, we will briefly approach the fundamental rogation pro pluvia and pro serenitate, and how they evolved between 1700 and 1750.KEY WORDSOrihuela, Little Ice Age, droughts, floods, stream, rogation.

The article deals with the development of diocesan archives in Slovenia since the end of the Second World War until today. It provides information on the construction of three diocesan archives in Koper, Ljubljana and Maribor. The archive in Koper is the youngest, since the state borders of the Primorska region were determined long after the end of the Second World War and the previous diocesian archives in that area remained outside the borders of Slovenia today. The Archive in Ljubljana operated all the time since after the war and in 1993, with the return of the registries which the state seized after the war on parishes, it enlarged. Until 1993-1994, the archive in Maribrt operated within the Maribor Regional Archives, so that the diocese‘s archivists were employed there.

El trabajo propone el análisis de la administración diocesana de Ángel Mariano Moscoso –obispo del Tucumán de 1788 a 1804- como una puerta de entrada al estudio de aspectos cotidianos del proceso de control social. En este sentido, la gestión episcopal de este prelado nos permite observar los mecanismos por los cuales se reforzaba la presencia eclesiástica a través del equipamiento eclesiástico del territorio. Por otro lado, estudiamos las visitas diocesanas llevadas a cabo durante la administración de Moscoso como un instrumento del ejercicio de gobierno. La mayoría de las fuentes utilizadas para este artículo corresponden a fondos del Archivo del Arzobispado de Córdoba (AAC) que fueron cotejados o complementados con otros fondos documentales cuando fue necesario.

La investigación estudia la documentación de la práctica de Visita ad limina durante el periodo de 1600-1800, de las Provincias eclesiásticas de Santa Fe y de Guatemala, que se conserva en el Archivo Vaticano. Los resultados del estudio presentan en detalle las fuentes y la valoración historiográfica de ellas. Luego, desde una descripción comparada de esta práctica entre las dos Provincias con aquella de Lima y Sucre, evalúa la frecuencia de ésa, el tipo de documentos que se conservan, y los contenidos que registran. A partir del análisis previo se expone aspectos del estado de la iglesia de las Provincias eclesiásticas, dejando para las observaciones conclusivas, aquellos rasgos más relevantes de las iglesias diocesanas. La Relación diocesana que enviaba el obispo, como parte del precepto de Visita ad limina Apostolorum, contenía información sobre su ministerio episcopal, la visita pastoral, la organización parroquial, la administración de los sacramentos, las misiones, los conventos y monasterios de hombres y mujeres; en los Informes de estas Provincias, además de los señalados, se registran aspectos como la ordenación sacerdotal de indígenas, referencias a tensiones con la autoridad civil, descripción geográfica de las jurisdicciones, registro de Cofradías.

En este artículo de investigación nos acercamos a la Escuela Diocesana de Teología para Seglares (1968-2014) desde dos aspectos: su historia y la documentación que ha ido generando desde su erección en noviembre de 1968 hasta finales del curso 2013-2014 con su extinción.

Y por último, los aspectos económicos: libros de cajas y cuentas corrientes, presupuestos, informes y administración. De los documentos del archivo ofrecemos cun cuadro de clasificación y el vaciado de las cajas.

Este artículo propone un estudio del reglamento, cuadros de enseñanza, alumnado y profesores del seminario conciliar de Logroño en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, a partir de documentos localizados en los archivos diocesano y municipal de la ciudad de Logroño, comparando con el instituto de segunda enseñanza en los mismos años e intentando poner de relieve el anclaje de dicho foco educativo en la red educativa y la sociedad logroñesas.

Over the past decades history researchers of church-state relations have been doing active work with archival sources. Newly opened documents are regularly published, shedding light on certain problems. However, for various reasons, a huge layer of historical data is stored in the archives of diocesan administration of the Russian Orthodox Church. The author considers this research as an opportunity to significantly enrich knowledge of the religious policy of the state in the XX century, the life of society, social institutions and the formation of religious educational institutions. From the researcher’s point of view, the development of religious education in post-Soviet Russia, the Archive of Smolensk diocesan administration is of particular interest, since it was the Diocese of Smolensk where a complete system of upbringing and education was formed in a fairly short time, from kindergarten to a higher educational institution such as a seminary. The sources under the research are considered in the process of the origin and development of educational institutions. The method of structural analysis makes it possible to analyze the data contained in the reports of religious educational institutions. As a result, the author concludes that, despite the presence of certain difficulties, which are usually not typical of state archives, the archive of Smolensk diocesan administration is an important source of documents on the activities of religious institutions in Russia at the turn of the XX–XXI centuries.

In the literature on historical archives of the Catholic Church in Poland there is no scholarly monograph devoted to them. The only textbook is the one written by H.E. Wyczawski, Przygotowanie do studiów w archiwach kościelnych (Preparing for studies in church archives). The publications, appearing after the war, did not present any theoretical fi ndings which could be applied in church archival studies (it refers to developing the theoretical decisions on creating archival fonds, their names etc.), but they certainly provided the impetus and encouragement to continue the action which was initiated before the war. The program developed in the interwar period was adjusted to the new conditions; emphasis was put on practical guidelines for activities related to the founding and functioning of a historical archive in the diocese.

<p>En este artículo se aportan nuevos datos sobre el pintor Bartolomé de Ávila, procedentes de los archivos Histórico Provincial de Soria y Diocesano de Osma-Soria. Un nuevo documento muestra cómo al final de su vida el pintor vendió algunas estampas, entre otras pertenencias, probablemente para cancelar deudas. El interés de las noticias se ve aumentado por la carencia de información sobre los pintores que trabajaron en Soria a finales del siglo XVI y principios del XVII; en muchas ocasiones, los datos se refieren a obras actualmente desaparecidas.</p><p> </p>

The article details the activities of the Archive Committee of the Moscow Spiritual Consistory, set up on the initiative of Metropolitan Philaret Drozdov of Moscow to put in order diocesan archives, which had suffered in the Napoleonic invasion. The documentary complex of the consistory was the backbone of the institution. The disastrous state of the archive not only undermined the activities of the consistory, but also hindered its socially important search for information in the parish records. Thus, the first priority and essential task of the Committee was to sort through and describe burial record books, which were in disorder. The filed away documents of the consistory expeditions, or structural subdivisions of the consistory, also required serious systematization. The same was true of the historical part of the complex dating back to the previous century. Thus, the Committee faced a choice of an optimal classification scheme: territorial grouping of files by soroks and churches, which dated back to the 18th century, or grouping by “substance” — subjects corresponding to the activity areas of the consistory desks and expeditions. The latter was impelled by the Statute of the Consistory (1841), as well as by the permanently increasing volume of records. So far, the Moscow Consistory Archive has been studied primarily from a pragmatic point of view: as a rich source base for diverse research on the history of the Church. The issues of archival document arrangement have attracted no special attention in scientific literature, although the surviving materials of the Committee reflect an interesting debate of diocesan archivists on the possible solution to the existing problem. In this respect, the documents left by the Committee are a valuable illustration of the Church archiving in search for a better organization of systematic preservation of diocesan administrative documents. The conclusion is made that the Committee was directly involved in the development of the consistory's document complex, its continuous processing, description, and adaptation to the new records management conditions, as well as to the modern structure of the Moscow Ecclesiastical Consistory collections. Stable organization of work with documentary material would have been impossible without appropriate staffing. The Committee was an unusual, beyond-the-limits-of-corporate-culture union of Moscow priests. Representatives of the Moscow clergy formed a special type of archivist, combining work in the archives with everyday parish practice.

El presente artículo hace un recorrido histórico (consultando fundamentalmente los archivos diocesanos, en su mayoría inéditos), por la instauración de las principales diócesis creadas en el Departamento del Valle del Cauca (Colombia) durante el siglo XX: Cali, Palmira, Buenaventura, Cartago y Buga. Se muestra como la Iglesia constituye un proyecto fundamental de modernización religiosa, que se denota ante todo en la extensión de su presencia en el territorio vallecaucano. Proceso que inicia con la desfragmentación del gran territorio de la arquidiócesis de Popayán, con lo cual cada diócesis creada logra impulsar sus propios procesos de generación de parroquias, centros educativos y de beneficencia, logrando con esto, construir la iglesia vallecaucana y fortalecer la religión católica tanto en los sectores rurales como en los espacios urbanos del departamento del Valle del Cauca. Cada nueva diócesis se inscribe además, en su propia coyuntura local de desarrollo y modernización económica y social. The Diocese of Valle del Cauca (Colombia) during 20 th Century: Towards the Strengthening of Modernity AbstractThe present article, based on a research carried out on diocesan archives -mainly unpublished- describes the historical path followed during the creation of the most important dioceses in the Valle del Cauca region (Colombia) during the 20th century: Cali, Palmira, Buenaventura, Cartago and Buga. It shows how the Church constituted a fundamental project of religious modernization as a result of its growing presence in the Valle del Cauca territory. The process begun with the fragmentation of the wide area occupied by the Archdiocese of Popayan, when each new diocese developed its own process in the establishment of new parishes, schools and charity institutions. These constitute the foundations of the Catholic Church and the construction and empowerment of religion, both in rural sectors and urban spaces along the Department. Nevertheless, each new parish in the Valle del Cauca was created according to local circumstances of economic development and social modernization.Keywords: church, modernization, regional history, Valle del Cauca

The aim of the following article is to present and analyse the collection of the Chapter and Parish Archive in Opatów. The Opatów chapter, existing for over eight centuries, is one of the oldest Polish collegiate chapters.

La actividad musical anterior al siglo XVI en la catedral de Valencia es muy poco conocida. El presente estudio trata de avanzar en el conocimiento de la cuestión dirigiendo el foco de atención hacia los colectivos de personas que desempeñaron los diferentes oficios catedralicios con responsabilidad en la organización y la práctica de la música en este templo en el período 1480-1505, que enmarca el magisterio del tratadista Guillem de Podio en las escuelas de canto. La perspectiva que se ofrece es la aportada por la prosopografía, a partir de datos procedentes tanto de la misma institución como de otras similares, así como de fuentes de características diferentes tales como las notariales, las diocesanas y las conservadas en archivos civiles y reales. Por otra parte, el trabajo también ha permitido presentar suficientes evidencias para poder descartar la hipótesis de identificación, hasta ahora considerada, entre el compositor Juan Rodríguez de Sanabria y el cantor de Isabel la Católica Juan Rodríguez de la Torre. En apéndice se incluye un catálogo prosopográfico de todos los personajes estudiados. [ca] L’activitat musical anterior al segle XVI a la catedral de València és molt poc coneguda.

Compulsory public education in Italy came into being almost simultaneously with the process of national unification. From the outset, the liberal ruling class was faced with the old-established educational tradition of the church, and historians of education have explored the process of the secularization of education. This article sheds light on how decisions of the hierarchy and the pope, especially during the early twentieth century, were translated into practical pastoral action, noteworthy in some cases for a surprising modernity in the means used. The article focuses on the dioceses of northern Italy and in particular that of Bergamo, a populous agricultural centre then undergoing rapid industrialization. Using diocesan archive materials and the press of the period, it focuses on new forms of pastoral work, particularly those directed at teaching the catechism by means of societies for children and young people, catechism competitions and slide shows. The results obtained using this approach challenge the perception of Catholicism as intransigent on this issue.

One of the plots in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church of the time of Patriarch Tikhon is considered, when in 1924 the renewal group “Living Church” headed by priest V. D. Krasnitsky had a try to join the supporters of the patriarch. It was established that this plot was repeatedly considered in literature, but its comprehensive study became possible only after the publication of materials from the Anti-Religious Commission under the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the investigative case of Patriarch Tikhon. Based on the analysis of these historical sources the article concludes that the initiators of the annexation of the “Living Church” to the patriarch were the Anti-Religious Commission and the OGPU. Their goal was to exacerbate the struggle between different parts of the Russian Orthodox Church and thereby discredit it in the eyes of ordinary believers. This paper introduces into scientific circulation and publishes a leaflet with a “Memo for Churchmen”, prepared for publication in 1924 by the renovation Altai diocesan administration. It was identified in a single copy in the State Archive of the Novosibirsk Region. The author takes into account the small circulation of 150 copies and the purpose of the church document and assumes that it was preserved only in this archive. Apparently this leaflet was a response of the Altai Renovationists to the messages in May 1924 in the central Soviet newspapers about the joining to the Patriarch Tikhon of the schismatic group “Living Church”, which was not included in a single renovation Church. This historical source testifies that not only the metropolitan, but also the Siberian dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church took part in the new round of struggle of the renovationist schismatics and supporters of Patriarch Tikhon inspired by the OGPU.

Introduction. The goal of the article is to investigate the nature and assess the results of statechurch relations in Tolyatti after the implementation of the Federal Law “On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations” of September 26, 1997. Materials and Methods. In order to implement the goal of the research, we used the materials of the municipal public institution “Tolyatti Archive” (orders and resolutions of the mayor of Tolyatti), data from periodicals, memoirs of contemporaries, materials of the current archive of the Samara diocesan administration closed to the public (reports of the ruling Bishop of the Samara diocese to the Moscow Patriarchate), materials from the author’s personal archive: reports of the assistant governors of Samara Oblast on religious issues reports of both secular and ecclesiastical officials on the religious situation in Samara Oblast and Tolyatti, other official and unofficial documents, many of which, due to their specificity, do not end up in Church or secular archives (correspondence between the heads of local religious organizations with Tolyatti Duma and City Hall officials; protocols of City Hall meetings on religious issues and the protocols of meetings in the religious organizations, which were conducted by the author). The research methodology includes the method of document analysis. Analysis. The construction of churches, the development of educational institutions, the opening of a monastery, guardianship and fraternities, and the publication of religious periodicals continued in 1997–2003. For Tolyatti’s clergy and believers, the preparation and celebration of the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ was an opportunity to express themselves in the media, increase the number of parishes and ask the authorities for assistance in solving various life issues including financial assistance. The Orthodox clergy also hoped to solve the problem of various religious organizations and sects functioning on the territory of Tolyatti, which they considered their canonical territory, with the help of the authorities. Results. With the celebration of the 2000th anniversary of Christianity, Orthodox religious organizations strengthened their position in society, established a dialogue with business and government, and gained advantages over other religious organizations in all matters. It was connected with both the allocation of land for temples and their subsequent financing.

Cardinal Pietro Boetto, archbishop of Genoa from 1938 until his death in 1946, was an unusual Jesuit priest in several respects. First, although from humble origins, trained in seminaries other than the most prestigious Jesuit institutions, and not given to complex theological writings, he rose through the ranks of the Society’s administration to attract the notice of Pope Pius xi and be elevated to the cardinalate in 1935. The elevation was in itself highly unusual, given standard Jesuit policy and the expressed reluctance of the order’s Superior General Włodzimierz Ledóchowski at the time. Equally unexpected is the fact that the Jesuit Father Pietro Tacchi Venturi, the pope’s liaison with Mussolini, furnished intriguing background testimony about the elevation itself, which provides new insight into the pope’s policies and modes of operation. Finally, Cardinal Boetto was unusual for the clandestine assistance to Jews and anti-Fascists he provided as archbishop during the German occupation, for the broad range of rescue activities he allowed to his heroic secretary don Francesco Repetto and other priests, and for the wide-spread support networks that resulted throughout Northern and Central Italy. This article tells the story of a competent administrator with immense hidden skills and profound humanity. Sources include the memoirs of Boetto’s aide, Brother Giovanni Battista Weidinger; a biography by his associate Father Arnaldo Lanz; testimony by don Francesco Repetto; documents in the Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu in Rome and the Archivio Diocesano di Genoa; and secondary studies by historians interested in the Second World War and the rescue of Jews in Genoa.

The Counter-Reformation initiated a long period of growth in the numbers of the secular and religious clergy of Catholic Europe. Mario Rosa has observed that in Italy the clerical population reached its peak in the first half of the eighteenth century, when Montesquieu described the peninsula as a ‘monk's paradise’, and that it declined thereafter as reformist governments attempted to curb the religious orders and restrict new ordinations to the priesthood. According to Rosa, in the early eighteenth century the Italian Church had a ‘plethora’ of poorly trained priests who lived on the meagre sums provided by their patrimony and sought to improve their lot by obtaining benefices and endowments. In spite of the efforts of the hierarchy to improve clerical education, Rosa continues, Italian seminaries lacked adequate resources to train the great numbers of clerics.Rosa's observations about the expanding ecclesiastical population before the mid-eighteenth century are borne out by statistical evidence to be found in the archive of the northern diocese of Novara, where numbers of secular or diocesan priests tripled between the early seventeenth century and the middle of the eighteenth. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the composition of the Novarese priests and to test the applicability of Rosa's observations about the economic status and education of the Italian clergy to the diocese of Novara.

This paper seeks to develop some conceptual elements that articulated the social construction of the soundscape of the urban spaces of the kingdom of Castile (15th–16th centuries). We focus our attention on the revision of the normative spheres that structured the subjective universe of the Castilian inhabitants, in order to notice and spot the different sound representations that intervened in the spatial and social configuration of the cities, their possible conflicts, and levels of acoustic tolerance. This proposal is part of the so-called “sensorial turn” in the Social Sciences, defined by David Howes as a cultural approach to the study of the senses as well as a sensorial approach to the study of culture. The research is carried out through the analysis of the sensory marks present in a documentary corpus made up of normative documents (municipal ordinances, books of agreement, chapter acts, diocesan synods, and royal dispositions) and judicial documents (General Archive of Simancas) combining methods of discourse analysis and the history of the senses. In the article, we argue and remark that the sound dimension operated as a device that acted in the shaping of the identity of places, since it contributed to define and delimit their use. This was reflected in the importance given by the authorities to the normative regulation of the community, which included a textual dimension in which the historical soundscape was imprinted, revealing the multiple social interactions that integrated it.

Abstract: The restauration of the Reval suffragan diocese in 1917 and the election of the bishop as an expression of ‘church revolution’ in the Riga diocese This article focuses on the creation of the Reval suffragan diocese in 1917 and the election of Pavel Kulbusch as the first bishop of Estonian descent. The article reconstructs the course of historical events on the basis of documents from the Russian State Historical Archive and provides a framework for understanding the events via the concept of ‘church revolution’ proposed by the historian Pavel Rogoznyi. The case of the Reval suffragan diocese complements the argument of Rogoznyi and suggests that processes in the Russian borderlands also contributed to the ‘church revolution’. While demands for Estonian and Latvian suffragan bishops had already been put forward by Governor Shakhovskoi in the 1890s and by the Riga diocesan council in 1905, it was only in 1917 that some of these projects were given institutional form. The Orthodox assembly of the Riga diocese in August of 1917 in Tartu elected the parish priest Pavel Kulbusch from St Petersburg as bishop of Reval. The process of consecrating the new bishop took several months due to the church hierarchy’s resistance to his candidature, primarily due to his ethnic origin. The documents published in this issue suggest that the institutions formed during 1917, including the diocese council (soviet) and the representative assemblies of the diocese, and the activity of nationalist Orthodox priests (such as Antoni Laar, who mobilised the Orthodox parishes in support of the bishop) rendered the formation of Reval diocese successful compared to several similar initiatives in other dioceses. The article argues that the institutions and practices formed during 1917 and the martyrdom of Bishop Platon in 1919 paved the way for the separation of the Estonian Church from the Moscow patriarchate in 1923. The translated and published documents accompanying the article are kept in the Russian State Historical Archive (in St Petersburg) and include the decrees of the Most Holy Synod; decisions made by the delegates of the congress of the ecclesiastical and secular representatives of the Riga diocese and the Temporary Council of the Riga Diocese; and individual and collective petitions in regards to restoring the suffragan diocese in Tallinn.

The article studies reasons for moving employees and ministers of ecclesiastical institutions of the Tobolsk diocese in the second half of the 18th – early 20th century and analyses the procedure of the reshuffles. This topic has not been studied yet, it is here disclosed on basis of archival sources that are being introduced into scientific use. The author has studied files of the Tobolsk spiritual consistory stored in the State Archive in the city of Tobolsk. The article reveals content of these cases, examines documents on reshuffles of ministers of church institutions of the Tobolsk diocese. The author determines terms, on which the record keeping procedure depended, identifies its main stages, isolates initiating documents in the files. The most frequent reason for the displacement of church institutions officials and ministers was their inability to support themselves and their families on the salary. When ecclesiastical consistory needed clerical workers, the diocesan authorities preferred to transfer experienced employees from other church institutions, rather than to accept graduates from educational institutions where they were taught nothing of office work. Moreover, most graduates preferred the civil service to the spiritual, so there was a lack of clerical workers, and sometimes freelancer clerks were to be hired. The documents interesting not for dry statement of facts, but for remarks and reflections that are often emotionally colored. The archival documents show that the Russian Orthodox Church took care of all of its servants, even those disabled, in ill health or elderly and found opportunity to find them all a suitable position within their power.

Jan Joachim Tarło belonged to a family whose three members were bishops of Poznań in the first half of the 18th century. Jan Joachim was an alumnus of Jesuit schools and during his sojourn there joined the Society of Jesus which he left in 1689, passing into the ranks of diocesan clergy. In December 1718 he was granted papal provision to the bishopric in Kiev and remained in office until 1723 when he was transferred to the office of bishop of Poznań which he fulfilled for nine years until his death on 13 August 1732. He died in Vienna on his return from a journey to Rome.His book of pontifical activities for the years 1719-1731 survives till the present day and is stored at the Archdiocesan Archive in Poznań (catalogue number ASO 7). The book is divided into sections in which the following types of activities are recorded: ordinations of various degrees including presbiterate and episcopate, blessing of cornerstones, consecration and blessing of churches, consecration of permanent altars and portative stones, blessing of church bells, consecrations of the holy oils.From the records in the book it follows that during his ministry as bishop of Kiev, Tarło stayed in the Cracow diocese and discharged his duties there. Interestingly, there is no evidence of his performing any official acts in the area of the Kiev diocese, which must have been connected with the fact that already by then a great part of its territory (the bishopric of Kiev included) lay within the borders of the Russian Empire, whereas the part that remained in the Kingdom of Poland encompassed just a few parish churches.

As a contribution to the history of the institutional development of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Central Asian parts of the Russian Empire, the present article analyzes the emergence of missionary structures in the Orenburg diocese. The research is based on a wide range of administrative documents of the Orenburg diocese (preserved in the State Archive of the Orenburg region), and on materials published in the Orenburg Diocesan Gazette. The contribution explores the reasons for the creation of the regional Committee of the Orthodox Missionary Society and the Kyrgyz Mission, and identifies the stages of their activities. It also highlights the features of the organization of Orthodox missionary work among the Kazakhs of the Urals and Turgay regions. The authors argue that Orthodox missionary work in the Steppe was meant to exclude the Kazakhs from the ongoing all-Russian Muslim consolidation. The strategy that the Russian state chose to control regions with a dense inorodtsy (non-Russians) population was acculturation, to control the respective populations by inclu- ding them into the cultural and religious Russian-Orthodox space. On the spot, however, the officials of the Kyrgyz Mission faced a whole range of obstacles, including particular attitudes of the Kazakhs about aspects of the Christian dogma. Also, there was already well-funded Islamic missionary work in the Ural and Turgai steppes. The Orthodox parish system remained weak, and state financing of missionary work was considered insufficient. The resettlement of peasants into the region required that employees of the Kirghiz mission changed their emphasis from missionary work to the ordinary duties of parish priests. All this allows the authors to conclude that the efficiency of Orthodox missionary structures among the Kazakhs of the Orenburg diocese was low.

This article discusses previously undocumented examples of music for the old Beneventan divine office in a manuscript housed in the Archivio Storico Diocesano in Naples (Cod. Misc. 1, fasc. VII). The breviary, which was copied at the scriptorium of Santa Sofia, Benevento, in 1161, transmits two unica—canticle antiphons for the feast of St. Mercurius—in Beneventan style. It also preserves a Beneventan-style antiphon for the Holy Twelve Brothers of Benevento that is not transmitted in previously published sources of Beneventan chant. The discovery of music in Beneventan style for St. Mercurius is of importance to the history of the old Beneventan rite, as it attests to the continued production of the distinctive formulaic style of the Beneventan rite into the later eighth century. The relics of Mercurius, a military saint of Byzantium, were enshrined at the altar of Santa Sofia at Benevento in 768, and Mercurius was adopted as patron of the court, the church of Santa Sofia, and the city of Benevento. Despite the establishment of the cult of St. Mercurius in the second half of the eighth century, until now no musical record has indicated the presence of old Beneventan music for this feast (there is no extant Beneventan mass proper for Mercurius, and the documented sources for the divine office preserve only Romano-Beneventan or neo-Gregorian-style music). I consider the St. Mercurius antiphons within the context of the musical style of the old Beneventan rite and argue that they should be included in the Beneventan canon on the basis of musical style. As pitch-specific exemplars of the distinctive formulaic style of the Beneventan chant, this source is of particular value to the study of Beneventan pitch and modality. Notated in fully heightened Beneventan neumes on a staff line, these antiphons are among the few surviving witnesses of the old Beneventan repertory that preserve the distinctive modal properties of the repertory in pitch-specific notation. I introduce the music of these antiphons and consider their importance as witnesses to the continued production and copying of Beneventan music from the late eighth to the twelfth centuries.

The article offers a source study of the report of bishop of Omsk Arkady to Metropolitan of Nizhny Novgorod Sergius and the Holy Synod made in 1929. The text analysis allows to address the problem of relationship between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Soviet authorities. The report, which is published here, allows to follow the sequence of territorial redistribution of the Omsk diocese in 1920s. The problem of its authorship is considered. Having studied a copy of the report in the archival investigative file stored in the archive of the Federal Security Service of Russia Directorate for the Omsk Region, the author establishes that the document was prepared by Archpriest V.F. Infatiev, leader of the Omsk Tikhonovtsy and rector of the Fraternal Church in Omsk. Biographical and historical–genetic methods have been of most use in the research. Biographical method allows to study the document in connection with life and activities of its authors. The historical genetic method, based on materials of the Omsk diocese, shows how the Soviet state used the administrative redistribution of dioceses to obstruct church administration. It sought to fragment and weaken large dioceses that were fighting new church schism. The article reveals the specifics of administrative and territorial reorganization in the Omsk diocese, which boundaries kept changing for a variety of reasons. First, the Soviet power had not forgotten that Omsk of the capital of White Russia, and Novonikolaevsk (Novosibirsk) was made capital of Soviet Siberia. Reconstruction of diocesan borders in accordance with new Soviet administrative–territorial division disrupted traditional church administration. Some cities still gravitated towards Omsk, but over time they were separated from the Omsk diocese. Secondly, the Bolsheviks provoked and supported the inter-church struggle for power, in which many church leaders were then actively involved. This resulted in separation of a number of territories from the Omsk diocese. Thirdly, while the Kyrgyz (Kazakh) republic was being formed and developed, some of its large cities were subordinate to Omsk. The work may be of interest to researchers studying Russian society in the pre–war period, history of the Russian Orthodox Church, and activities of the Soviet Special Services concerning religious institutions.

The article is devoted to studying the diocesan paperwork on appointment of widows of clergy as prosphora bakers in the 19th - early 20th centuries. It uses general scientific, historical, and special methods of document science. Despite an abundance of works devoted to the life of clergy in pre-revolutionary Russia, the issue of the Tobolsk Spiritual Consistory paperwork concerning request of the widows of clergy to appoint them prosphora bakers in the 19th - early 20th century remains unexplored. During the period of Church revival, it is of great importance to study the history of life of clergy and solution of their problems in the dioceses. The study is to identify the features of paperwork on appointment of widows of clergy as prosphora bakers in the Tobolsk diocese in the 19th - early 20th century. Having studied the previously unknown archival documents from the State Archive in Tobolsk, the author has found out what affected the duration of office-work processes and the number of their stages. Most quickly were solved problems of those women, who lived closest to the Tobolsk Spiritual Consistory, and of those, whose requests were uncontroversial. Thus, there was no need to collect the lacking data, to clarify the controversial points, to enter into correspondence, and the office work included the least number of stages — seven. The number of stages and, accordingly, time needed increased with the moteness of the widow’s place of residence from the city of Tobolsk, where the spiritual consistory was located. The main stages were nearly identical, however, sometimes additional documents were demanded. In case of appointment as prosphora bakers, these were, firstly, approvals expressing the consent of the parishioners and the clergy of churches in which women were to serve, or certificates of village councils, and secondly, tickets for travel to their places of service. These latter were not specific to this type of cases, but general for all personnel-related issues concerning placement in the service and transfer. Bureaucratization prevented widows from getting their desired place faster, but it contributed to a better preservation of documents, thus providing an opportunity for modern researchers to study valuable archival sources. The results of the research may interest archivists; they may be used in preparation of courses on records management, history of organization of office work, and of special courses on the history of office work in institutions.

Resumen:En el presente articulo se estudia una de las familias con las que ha contado la ciudad de Huete (Cuenca): los Ceza. Un linaje vinculado a las comunidades judeoconversas que fue medrando socialmente hasta adquirir un reconocimiento nobiliario y que finalmente llegó a destacar dentro de la alta política del país. Para ello se han vaciado algunas de las series del Archivo Eclesiástico de Huete y el Fondo de la Inquisición del Archivo Diocesano de Cuenca, entre otros, y elaborado una serie de árboles genealógicos que clarifican la procedencia y descendencia de estas familias. Abstract:In this article we study one of the families that have lived in the city of Huete (Cuenca): the Ceza family. A lineage linked to the Jewish-converse communities that grew socially until it acquired noble recognition and finally came to stand out in the country's high politics. To this end some of the series from the Ecclesiastical Archive of Huete and the Inquisition Collection of the Diocesan Archive of Cuenca, among others, have been emptied and a series of family trees have been drawn up to clarify the origin and descent of these families.

Este estudio se ocupa del retablo mayor de Nuestra Señora de la Esclavitud, vulgo A Escravitude, y trata de completar la historia de este santuario situado cerca de Padrón (Padrón, A Coruña). Merced a una cuidada y exhaustiva investigación en los archivos parroquiales del Archivo Histórico Diocesano de Santiago (AHDS), se pudo determinar qué artistas trabajaban allí a mediados del siglo XVIII; tal es el caso de José de Malbares († h. 1767). Así pues, éste texto quiere reunir las numerosas informaciones dispersas existentes sobre este escultor y entallador, junto con otros datos desconocidos hasta la fecha.
