Aim of this article is to discuss the relationship between local powers and local churches starting from a peculiar case study: Cogne's valley between XIIIth and XVth century. Set in Aosta valley, in the heart of Western Alps, this place was connected with many different local powers: the Prince of Savoy, who had the territorial control of the whole region; the bishop of Aosta, who exercised a jurisdictional power over the valley of Cogne and, as chief of the diocese, was responsible for the cure of souls of the inhabitants; the Priory of Sant'Orso, who administered the Cogne's parish. The superposition of different powers produced many conflicts, which saw the community of Cogne acting as the fourth essential protagonist. Through the analysis of heterogeneous set of documents (ecclesiastical visitations, franchises, donations), the article shows how the community was able to gain its space of action thanks to the negotiation with the different powers active on the territory.

Between 1843 and 1845 Pope Gregory XVI entrusted the two Tuscan Olivetan monasteries, Monte Oliveto Maggiore in the Sienese area and San Bartolomeo in Florence, to the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Florence Ferdinando Minucci with the task of conducting an apostolical visit. At the same time, the Tuscan government, following the legislation of Pietro Leopoldo, instructed the Archbishop himself to conduct a visit to the same monasteries in the name and on behalf of the State. The essay analyses the story by cross-examining the ecclesiastical sources with those of the Government. An episode emerges that testifies to the persistence of dynamics typical of the ancient regime regarding the relations between State and Church in the context of the Restoration age.

"What is a human being according to Augustine of Hippo? The question has occupied a group of researchers from Brazil and Europe and has been explored at two workshops during which the contributors to this volume have discussed anthropological themes in Augustine's vast corpus. In this volume, the reader will find articles on a wide spectrum of Augustine's anthropological ideas. Some contributions focus on specific texts, while others focus on specific theological or philosophical aspects of Augustine's anthropology. The authors of the articles in this volume are convinced that Augustine's anthropology is of major importance for how human beings have been understood in Western civilization for better or for worse. The topic is therefore highly relevant to the present times in which humanity is under pressure from various sides." --

Medieval Arabic Historiography is concerned with social contexts and narrative structures of pre-modern Islamic historiography written in Arabic in seventh and thirteenth-century Syria and Eygpt.

"Based on the Duffy Lectures, a yearly lecture series at Boston College, this book explores the theme of "Deep Incarnation" as a way of making connections between incarnation and the whole of creation, including the costs built into our evolutionary world. The key question of "Deep Incarnation," for Edwards, is: "What relationship is there between the wider natural world, the world of galaxies and stars, mountains and seas, bacteria, plants and animals, and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ?" To approach this theme, Edwards draws upon the work of Niels Gregersen (the "father of Deep Incarnation"), Elizabeth Johnson, and others. He then engages with Irenaeus, Athanius, and Karl Rahner as three great witnesses to a deep view of incarnation, and concludes with his own constructive approach to the book's theme."
