Le domaine de l’apôtre. Droit de saint Pierre et cens de l’Église romaine dans les provinces d’Aix, Arles et Narbonne (milieu XIe-fin XIIe siècle)

A new understanding emerges of the Gregorian Reform's impact on ecclesiastical structures in 11th and 12th-century Languedoc and Provence, revealing a shift from textual compilation to list-making as a means to assert the Roman Church's universal authority. The study demonstrates how papal documentation, such as Deusdedit’s canonical collection (1086-1087) and the Liber censuum (1192), reflected evolving ecclesiastical directions and feudal dynamics. It also highlights the transformation of St. Peter’s apostolic protection into a tax paid to the Lateran Palace, illustrating the changing conceptions of liberty, protection, and exemption under papal rule.
