Description

This session includes three papers that demonstrate the integration of new methodologies and approaches to the study of medieval bishops and the secular clergy. Presenters will model new (or new to you) methodologies that encourage a different perspective on a person, a place, or on ecclesiastical things. These new approaches might include GIS or other digitally driven approaches that model the work of bishops and the secular clergy across time and space; they might also be structured around traditional approaches to new collections that cross the traditional boundaries of geography, period, or genre.
