Abstract
The present article synthesizes recent French literature on the diocese’s space between the end of Antiquity to the 13th century. Contrary to traditional historiography, which rarely poses questions on spatial concepts and tends to privilege the thesis of a substantial continuity of ancient legacies, these researches underscore the transformation of the dominium exercised by the bishops and the chapter over the diocese between the 10th and the 13th century. These studies also highlight the passage from a “seigneurial” or “feudal” model based on the control of privileged enclaves, the mobilization of dependent resources and symbolical exchanges, to a “governmental” model, which rested on a territorialized jurisdiction, on administrative practices and on fiscalised exchanges. At the heart of such a transformation lay a process of relative depersonalization of the episcopal dominium triggered by the bureaucratization of the diocese’s management; a fact which was most notably visible in the delegation of such functions to canons or specialised officers, in the creation of an administrative network for the management of space and in the growing tendency to resort to written practices. In such a way, the ecclesiastical institution paved the way to the State.
