medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thanks, Laura. I looked over Bagliani/Senocak's new "A People's Church: Medieval Italy and Christianity, 1050–1300" and didn't find anything specific, but the Italian pieve system may have different customs just as you suggest.

Best,
John

As you don't seem to have had a reply to this maybe I can kick things off by saying I'm not aware of such legislation in Italy (which doens't mean there wasn't any), but I think there was a very strong tradition of lay confraternities being 'attached' to churches and maintaining at least a chapel in them, if not more. At the Arena Chapel in Padua, which was a 'private' church ouside the diocesan structures, there was a confraternity which had repsonsbility for the upkeep of the entire church. Ihope this starts the ball rolling...

Hi all,

In England, synodal and diocesan legislation assigned parishioners the responsibility for the upkeep of the nave. Was this also the Continental custom?

Thanks,
John
