Personality, Institution, and Pastoral Reform: An investigation into the registers of the Archbishops of York in the years 1266-1296

“cura animarum”（灵魂关怀）的概念通常被视为从1215年第四次拉特兰理事会开始的牧区改革的固定目标，并作为一个普遍的计划。本论文探讨牧灵改革作为愿景和行动，因此体现了个别领导人，并通过网络和机构的区域教会制定。他们受个性、经验和领导风格的影响。我的研究将打开约克大主教的吉法德，维克瓦恩和伊莱恩的登记册，以检查人，议程和关系的方式被映射到教会的机构，并给予形式。

The concept of 'cura animarum' (care of souls) is often seen as the fixed aim of pastoral reform from the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 onwards, and as a universal programme. This thesis explores pastoral reform as both vision and activity, as so embodied by individual leaders and enacted via the networks and institutions of their regional church. They were subject to personality, experience, and leadership styles. My research will open up the York archbishops' registers of Giffard, Wickwane and Romeyn, to examine the ways in which person, agenda, and relationships were mapped onto and gave form to the institution of the Church.
