Seminars

The Seminar of the MPFG intended to offer its participants a series of activities closely related to the research of the group in the fields of history, legal history and other neighboring disciplines. Particular emphasis was put on the nature and interpretation of sources connected to the Congregation of the Council and the Roman Dicasteries more broadly. Each meeting was devoted to a specific topic with regard to which a guest was invited or the close reading of a text was prepared. The Seminar took place at the institute every month and wasdesigned especially for the group’s doctoral students.
