The archives of the Pontifical Urbanian University, the Pontifical Alphonsian Academy and the Pontifical Augustinianum Institute are explored. A range of copious information is drawn from them, not only from the point of view of archival interest, but also from the perspective of the study of theological disciplines, scientific research and teaching in the unique academic and cultural context of the Urbe, as well as in the relationship with centers of formation of the clergy and laity also at the international level

activity of the Italian Association of Professors of Church History. The new journal overlooks the historiographical panorama, enriching the Italian side of the publicity dedicated to scientific research on the History of the Church and Christianity. The journal reflects the contribution of the Association, characterized by methodological discipline combined with freedom of investigation on themes, topics and time periods, without preclusions, respecting the plurality of interpretations and the loyalty of the debate and dialogue between scholars. The journal also offers a critical and informative service on study initiatives and bibliographical innovations.

The recent organisation and inventorying of the Archives of the Pontifical Lateran University has enabled the exploration of a vast documentary heritage concerning the life and activities of one of the best known and oldest ecclesiastical universities in Rome. The collection of documents preserved attests to the steadfast dynamism and reforms that have successively taken place in the various faculties as a result of changes to theological studies ordered by Popes and introduced within academic organisations and study programmes. It has also allowed a review to be made of the international student population together with the composition of teaching staff, as well as a reconstruction of the educational characteristics of numerous teaching methods.

However, the male Orders did not adopt a pre-established policy regulating the consecration of women, but each time prepared a
regulation ordering entry into female communities and life within them. The sorores remained, however, excluded from military activity. This practice emerges from the examination of the constitutions of three monasteries of Giovannite: Florence, Penne and Seville. Of the Florentine community we know the constitutions drawn up between
1395 and 1404, as well as those of 1588, the constitutions of the monastery of Penne date back to 1525 and those of Seville to 1526, with additions in 1561. Their comparison with other contemporary constitutions of female communities allows us to deepen our knowledge of the norms dictated for the life of consecrated women from the late Middle Ages to the years following the Council of Trent.
The documentation relating to the apostolic visitation ordered by Pius X to Italian dioceses and ... more The documentation relating to the apostolic visitation ordered by Pius X to Italian dioceses and seminaries (1903-1914) is a significant source for understanding the conditions of the local Churches and their components in the society of the early twentieth century. The pope wanted to be aware of them in the perspective of an initiative of ecclesial reform and re-christianization of the country. The records of the visits, moreover, provide useful information on the local Churches, formulated by external observers, and at the same time represent diagnoses and propose therapies. The essay continues the investigation previously undertaken on the Churches of Apulia and dwells in particular on the bishops of Taranto, Oria and Castellaneta, as well as on the consequences of the visits made with their effects on the episcopate.

Their history had seen in pre-unification Italy, especially during the modern age, an efflorescence of varied events and experiences, which poured into the context of the unified Kingdom and followed the political fortunes of the Crown. The apostolic visit ordered by Pius X to the Italian dioceses and seminaries (1903-1914) also included the churches, the Chapters and the Palatine clergy and, in particular, the Chapters of St. Barbara in Mantua, St. Nicholas in Bari, St. Michael in Monte Sant'Angelo and the archpriests of Acquaviva delle Fonti and Altamura. The report of the apostolic visit (1907) to the palatine territories of Puglia offers a mirror of their condition before the Concordat of 1929 and the Convention of 1939, which led to significant changes in the structure of the churches and the canonical chapters connected to them.
