Descrizione

In the light of the challenge to overcome entreched conceptions that offer few explanations for the dynamics of ecclesiastical powers and their mechanisms of organization in the 11th century, this article investigates the network structures formed during the initial years of Peter Damian’s priory. Particularly their role in establishing a legitimate field of action for the Hermitage of the Holy Cross of Fonte Avellana. From this perspective, Peter Damian’s correspondence represents an invaluable corpus to investigate the early stages of a collaborative network, constitued around that anchorite community.
