'Familia inquisitionis': a study of inquisitors' entourage (13th-14th century).

13世纪和14世纪意大利和法国的中世纪宗教裁判所留下了许多关于所进行的调查的记录，并启发了编年史家和辩论家写下了这个非常特殊的法庭的事迹和不端行为。然而，关于“家庭调查”的具体材料很少，“家庭调查”是一群人，他们在不同程度上帮助调查人员管理法庭的日常管理，管理他们的房子和监狱，作为专业官员、合作者和间谍支持调查。官方文件(教宗文件、圣公会信件、教规和手册)没有提到它们。狱卒、公证员、仆人、间谍和几名支持者因此被历史遗忘。然而，宗教调查资料确实提供了这个“家庭”的一瞥，特别是在开支账簿中。虽然最新的历史学关注的是宗教裁判所与其运作环境之间的联系，重新访问和调查地方一级政治模式和教会议程之间的关系，但很少有人了解审讯员与他们的环境之间互动的另一个方面。这项研究将旨在重建审判人员与当地社区之间的合作模式。这与其说是一场赤裸裸的反对(宗教裁判所对当地社区/当局/社区结构)，不如说是一种相互交流。审讯员往往是相对当地的或熟悉他们运作的地方，在某种程度上是这种群体的一部分。同样，地方社区将宗教裁判所作为收入的来源、解决纠纷的有力途径和支持的来源。将被调查的方面包括：-这些教会官员的世界在多大程度上依赖公证员提供的专业支持，同时公证人通过长期受雇于法庭而获得专业和个人声望方面的优势；-历史学家是否可以谈论在法庭所管理的地区(特别是法国和意大利)对“家庭”的系统管理；-有战略处理嫌疑人的转变和他们重新融入正统社会；-管理通过没收获得的财产；-为合作者和间谍提供支助网络或财政支持；-作为一般做法的腐败程度(审查员及其雇员的腐败)。

The 13th and 14th century Medieval Inquisition in Italy and France has left many records about the inquiries undertaken, and inspired chroniclers and polemicists to write about the deeds and misdeeds of this very exceptional tribunal. However, very little specific material has been left on the 'familia inquisitionis', the group of people who, to various extents, helped inquisitors on their day-to-day management of the tribunal, run their houses and their jails, supported enquiries as professional officers, collaborators and spies. Official documentation (papal documents, episcopal letters, canon law and manuals) does not refer to them. Jailers, notaries, servants, spies and several supporters have thus drifted into historical oblivion. Yet, inquisitorial sources do provide glimpses of this 'family', which is accounted for especially in the expenses books.While the most recent historiography has focussed on the connections between the Inquisition tribunal and the milieu within which it operated, re-visiting and investigating the relationship between political patterns and ecclesiological agendas at a local level, very little light has been shed on another aspect of the interaction between inquisitors and their environment.This study will aim at a reconstruction of the patterns of co-operation between inquisitors and local communities. This will be seen not so much as a stark opposition (Inquisition versus local communities/authorities/communal structures), but as a mutual exchange. Inquisitors were often relatively local or familiar to the places where they operated, and to some degree were part of such groupings. Equally, local communities 'used' the Inquisition as a generator of income, a powerful way to solve disputes, a source of support.Among the aspect that will be investigated are: - the extent to which the world of these ecclesiastical officials relied on professional support provided by the notaries, and at the same time the advantages notaries obtained professionally and in terms of personal prestige by being employed by the tribunal over a length of time;- whether or not historians can talk about a systematic management of the 'familia' throughout the areas regulated by the tribunal (with specific emphasis on France and Italy);- the existence of strategies to handle conversion of suspects and their re-integration into the orthodox society;- the management of possessions obtained through confiscation;- the existence of a support network or financial support for the collaborators and spies;- the extent of corruption as a general practice (corruption of both the inquisitors and of their employees).
