El gobierno de las diócesis y su configuración institucional: Las curias diocesanas y su estructura en la corona de Castilla en la Edad Moderna (ss. XVI-XVIII).

This paper studies the diocesan curia, focusing on the episcopal secretariat and the diocesan court. Although the two institutions specialized in different procedures, cooperation and exchange of information between them were usual. The role of the provisor encompassed both procedural and administrative responsibilities. This paper explores other roles in the diocesan court, including notaries and prosecutors. The secretary was linked to the bishop and his importance increased after the Council of Trent. The lack of official registries means that all extant records must be examined to shed light on the issues raised in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
