The sub-project 'Iberia Pontificia', in which external scholars are also involved, explores the relations of the papacy with the historical landscapes of Spain and Portugal up to the year 1198. For this purpose, all charters and other written news on contacts with the papacy are processed in the form of registers for each bishopric.

Iberia Pontificia

The Academies project encompasses work on the Iberia Pontificia, specifically the bishoprics of Astorga, Ávila, Burgos, Calahorra, Ciudad Rodrigo, Coria, Huesca, León, Oviedo, Palencia, Pamplona, Plasencia, Salamanca, Segovia and Sigüenza.

Dioecesis Segobiensis (Dr. Daniel Berger)
Segovia, already testified as a bishop's seat in Visigothic times, was subject to the Archbishop of Toledo after it had come under Christian rule again at the end of the 11th century. In the 1120s Segovia was restored as an independent diocese within the Toledo church province and the bishop's seat was confirmed by Pope Calixt II in 1123. Contacts with the papacy existed during the 12th century, particularly during a protracted conflict over the diocesan borders with the neighbouring diocese of Palencia.
So far, around 130 draft regests have been prepared.


Dioecesis Tirasonensis (Frank Engel, M. A.)
