Print on Demand. This book includes ancient documents, grants, and historical events, painstakingly collected by generations of monks at the Farfa Abbey in central Italy. They provide an enlightening and comprehensive view of the development of Western Christianity. The author, Gregorio Di Catino, researched within the depths of the monastery archives to present a historical account of the abbey as a linchpin of Catholic expansion and political influence in the early Middle Ages. Within this extensive collection, you will find the evolution of the Papacy, and the great reach of its authority to appoint, depose, and crown kings and emperors. Tomo after tome contains an incredibly detailed account of the start of the Holy Roman Empire, the formation of a unified Catholic Church, and the far-reaching influence of the Benedictine monastic order. This book is a trove of primary source material that will be invaluable to anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the Papacy, or the Middle Ages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

A living portrait of medieval Sabina, in which monks and nobles exchange lands and goods under precise legal conditions.
The publication collects documents and acts of tradition related to the monastery of Santa Maria di Farfa, compiled in the second volume by Gregory of Catino and published by the Roman Society of Homeland History. The text presents a series of deeds of sale, donation and cambium, dated between the 8th and 9th centuries, which illustrate how lands, vineyards, houses, and rights were managed within the Sabine territory.
Each document reports names, places, indications of boundaries, payment terms and safeguard clauses, offering a concrete glimpse into monastic life and the relationships between clergy, lords and local communities. The volume is useful for those who study medieval history, Roman-Germanic law and the use of legal language in those same sources.What you'll find inside:
- Transcriptions of deeds with names of witnesses, wills and notarial formulas.
- Information on lands, vineyards, houses and boundaries in the Sabine territory.
- Historical context on how monasteries managed property and relations with lay patrons.
- Editorial notes that contextualize the traditions and the organization of monastic assets.
