Costituzioni sinodali diocesane e reclusione volontaria in Italia centrale tra Due e Trecento. Qualche riflessione
Synodal constitutions, the norms promulgated by bishops at the close of synods, represent a privileged source by means of which the history of medieval ecclesiastical institutions can be interpreted. This paper sets out to review the fragmentary surviving documentation relating to fourteenth-century diocesan synods in Italy, in order to verify whether, and how, diocesan Ordinaries recognized, protected and regularized, penitential phenomena such as voluntary reclusion, which were mainly female. In particular, the juxtaposition of synodal constitutions and the hagiographical account of Blessed Giustina of Arezzo offers a paradigmatic example of how the bishops of the fourteenth century handled the phenomenon of voluntary reclusion: on the
one hand, they tolerated, directed and promoted certain forms of life in the service of God; on the other, they strove to have them definitively regulated

Les Stylisations graphiques des notaires arétins au XIe siècle
Formal characteristics that began to surface in notarial acts and documents produced in Arezzo (Italy) as early as the 11th century have led to assumptions about an increase in the socio-professional relevance of local notaries, or at least that portion of them that had close ties with the episcopal power elite. Although boundaries between their role as officers in the service of local bishops and a greater professional independence still appear to be blurred, new generations began to assert their growing ability to certify by devising original formal and graphical solutions when compared to the previous century. Aretine documents in the 11th century served thus as a testing ground through which local notaries - in an effort to reproduce in the conscriptio the legal facts produced by the actio - loaded their documents with symbolic and certifying values by means of the very letter-forms that, sometimes empirically and sometimes by codifying customs and practices devised in the previous century, were to cause notaries to acquire the status - socially and professionally - of "public figure"
