Would it be correct to say that Lorraine was divided between the archdioceses of Cologne and Trier at that time? The various maps I have seem to indicate this, but I decided it would be best to double-check with the collective wisdom of the list. perhaps this would be of some help: Longnon, Auguste. _Pouillés de la province de Trèves._ Paris : Imprimerie Nationale, 1915. lxviii, 600 p. ; 28 cm. Series: Recueil des historiens de la France. Pouillés ; t. 5 the "various maps" you've got were very probably generated from these "Pouillés," which were, essentially, ecclesiastical censuses (censae??) of the diocese, listing every church therein, what it was worth and who it "belonged" to. survival of these things varies greatly, of course, from place to place --e.g., the earliest ones from Chartres are later 13th c. and the last ones from the 18th, i believe. i've found them to be useful, both for locating a place within the diocese and seeing what diocese it was actually in; and, since they are in Latin, *very* handy for finding out the modern name of some wierd little obscure place which appears in the charters. other "Provinces" (Reims, Sens, Bourges, Lyon, Tours, Rouen, etc.) have been published in the same RHG series. this link to a complete (?) list *might* work, who nose: http://lib4.nd.edu/ALEPH/HQPI76I2S24I5IDDVYUPP5CLGUIRYQTUVJPNSCXAS3E82QIRQI-14257/file/start-0 best from here, christopher Religion & Theology: http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/BooksBrowse?page=LOW&lowcatid=10604308 ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
