The research project examines the interaction of authority and autonomy in the papal financial administration of the 13th century, and is placed in the context of recent research on the alternative structures as well as on the financial history of high medieval society. The object of study is the temporal domain of the papacy, the Patrimonium Petri, which was subjected by Innocent III (1198–1216) to an iugum suave (Mt 11,30) – the easy yoke of the popes. The papal administration, according to this hypothesis, was focused on securing financial means for the papacy due to a lack of resources instead of being concerned with the political-territorial enforcement of the so-called Papal State. Papal financial administration is thereby examined from a cultural-historical perspective, whereby the question is no longer about authorities and hierarchies, but about the specific administrative practice of the involved actors, their symbols and mechanisms. In reference to the alternative structures of the papal financial administration, this protagonist-centred approach will be applied by means of two in-depth analyses: 1. on the personnel and functioning of the Apostolic Chamber, the ruling administrative authority for the patrimony of Saint Peter, and 2. on the autonomously operating Italian merchant bankers (mercatores).

该研究项目探讨了权力和自主权的互动，在13世纪的教皇财政管理，并放置在最近的研究背景下的替代结构，以及对中世纪社会的金融史。研究的对象是教皇的时间域，Patrimonium Petri，这是由无辜三世（1198年至1216年）受到一个iugum温文尔雅（山11，30）-教皇容易枷锁。根据这一假设，由于缺乏资源，教皇行政当局的重点是为教皇获得财政手段，而不是关心所谓教皇国的政治-领土执行。因此，教皇的财政管理是从文化历史的角度来审视的，问题不再是关于权威和等级制度，而是关于所涉及的行为者的具体行政实践，他们的象征和机制。关于教皇财政管理的替代结构，这种以主角为中心的方法将通过两个深入的分析来应用：1。关于人员和使徒商会，执政的圣彼得遗产管理当局的运作，和2。意大利商人银行家（mercatores）。
