Our diocesan documentary patrimony takes up approximately 1 km of shelving and includes important discoveries regarding the bishop\u2019s offices and other ecclesiastical institutions of the diocese contiguous to them: \u201cMensa Vescovile\u201d, the Ecclesiastical Court, the Cathedral Chapter, as well as other discoveries such as the Noble Grumelli Pedrocca Archive that of Castle Gromo. The archives of some associations or individual priests or lay people such as Nicol\u00f2 Rezzara, Monsignor Francesco Vistalli, Don Giuseppe Rota and Engineer Elia Fornoni, are also part of our diocesan archival patrimony. The archives of the Cathedral Parish of St. Alexander \u00a0(made only in 1805 and incorporating former city parishes such as San Lorenzo, San Pancrazio, San Cassiano, St. Michele all\u2019Arco<\/a>, Sant ‘Eufemia, San Salvatore) also form part of the archival ensemble, along with those of Sant’Agata al Carmine (finished in 1966). Attached to the latter, those of the \u201cConsorzio della Fabbrica del Duomo\u201d and the \u201cConsorzio di San Lorenzo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other series and even some individual documents, from other parishes, monasteries or diocesan bodies, committed to the bishop\u2019s care also form part of the ensemble. \u00a0The scrolls of the parish of Santa Grata inter vites, the famous hymnology of the monastery of Santa Grata in Columnellis and that of the military hospital of Clementina are also to be found in the archives. To see all these elements in greater depth, please refer to the computerized database, accessible in the computer study room.<\/p>\n

The archives of the Bishopric of Bergamo are made up of the papers produced \u2013in a passive and an active sense – by the offices (i.e. the central office for diocesan pastoral government employed by the bishop), in particular, the papers relating to financial assets within its jurisdiction (voluntary and extra-judicial) and to that of the Bishop’s Court. Depending on the number of practices, the latter had its sections, which often took the form of specific offices, found in some archival series that make up this particular finding.<\/p>\n

    The archival collection of the Ecclesiastical Court – which is an important part of the ‘backbone’ of the bishop\u2019s archives regarding judicial matters – is made up of a large and diverse amount of material. The bishop’s ecclesiastical court, of medieval origin, took on major importance with the Council of Trent, as it was to deal with all cases \u201cforum ecclesiasticum quomodolibet pertinentes, etiam si beneficiales sint” (sess. XXIV, cap. XX de reform.). Over time, the competences of the latter institution were expressed with ever greater precision, so much so that separate sections were created to deal with the various matters in hand. For example, the section dealing with judicial functions was entrusted with the oversight of the Officer\u2019s Tribunal. Administrative functions, on the other hand, were devolved to the Vicar General. The subjects covered by the Ecclesiastical Court were very different athough they may nonetheless be divided into two broad categories: contentious cases (civil or criminal) \u00a0and questions regarding the Causes of Saints and more purely spiritual matters. These sections of the archives deal span from the start of 16th<\/sup> century to the present day. They make up a large and composite collection of documents, including four documentary series: three relating to the first sector and a very large part of papers to the second.<\/p>\n

      The \u201cMensa Vescovile\u201d section contains documentation regarding\u00a0 land ownership and various legal rights enjoyed by the Bishop. Series including: 1) \u201cDiplomata seu Iura Episcopatus\u201d: parchment found and organized by Abbot Pietro Antonio Uccelli in 1850. There documents provide summaries of acts in Latin and are arranged acording to geographical areas, tending generally to correspond to the cure documented by the “Rotulum Episcopatus Bergomi” in 1258. 2) “Rotulum Episcopatus Bergomi” (cartulario) of the 1258 mutilated codex. 3) “Censuali” records of the letting rents and census as paid to Bishop, arranged chronologically (XIV-XVIII), also including typologically different material. 4) The most recent paper documentation (administration of certain holdings from the 16th<\/sup> to 19th<\/sup> century) described with inventory summary by V. Marchetti (1990).<\/p>\n

Dopo la trasformazione in signorie, domini territoriali, alla fine del Medioevo fu necessario un grande lavoro negli archivi per ritrovare le carte che attestavano propriet\u00e0 e diritti del Vescovo, e per riorganizzarne la gestione.

        Bergamo Cathedral Chapter already existed in the Middle Ages and enjoyed generous privileges. The Canons shared the vita communis<\/i> and had the obligation of singing the office in the cathedral choir, electing the Bishop, assisting him by their counsel, and of governing the diocese during an episcopal vacance de siege<\/i>. The archives of the Cathedral Chapter were indeed those of the Bishop\u2019s offices “ante litteram.” The main sections were as follows: the documentary section(containing the practices regarding the administration of the Chapter in 1264), the parchment section (comprising the oldest document of the archives: an imperial privilege of the Lombard Emperor Astolfo dating back to 740) and the library section with fifteen manuscripts and some incunabula.<\/p>\n
