The subject of this research is the study of the archival fond produced by the Prince-Bishopric of Trento, an ecclesiastical principality fully included among the 'Fürstentümer' of the Holy Roman Empire: a temporal territorial dominion placed between the cultural area of German and Italian influence, subject to the sovereignty of a bishop, whose episcopal dignity and jurisdiction was associated with the role of immediate prince of the Empire. The period examined stretches mostly from the 14th century - since the identification of the first forms of structured serial-type documentary production and an embryonic chancellery’s system - to the year 1796, terminus ad quem that effectively marks the epilogue of the centuries-old experience of bishops’ temporal government over the Principality and the advent of provisional regimes, prior the definitive secularization of the Hochstift in 1803. A look, moreover, aimed at the exploration and philological reconstruction of the archival fond in the period following secularization, throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth century, completes the investigation. A brief description of the historical-institutional profile of the Prince-Bishopric of Trento – examined in the context of the 'Geistliche Territorialherrschaften' of the Holy Roman Empire – introduces the subsequent treatment, that develops along three main strands of investigation strongly related to each other, to each of which has a chapter of the dissertation is dedicated: origin and evolution of the central bureaucratic structures of the ecclesiastical principality; analysis of the methods of production and documentary conservation between the 14th and 18th centuries; exploration of the princely-bishopric documentation’s 'itinera' between Innsbruck, Vienna and Munich during the 19th century and the rearrangements of the records that took place, in particular, in the post-secularization phase of the institution. The investigation relating to the reconstruction of the archival fond, combined with the analysis of the surviving documentation – which has been the object of a preliminary reconnaissance and census – have been conducted following a multi-disciplinary and comparative methodological approach, which allowed a more punctual awareness of the dynamics of fragmentation, dismemberment and subsequent disaggregated relocation of the dispersed documentation. These phenomena, in addition to having compromised the integrity of the documentary complex, have at times contributed to hinder a correct understanding and interpretation of the nature of many documentary typologies, thus limiting the fruition and valorization of the documentary heritage. The study of the archival fond’s structure - investigated in its entirety as a product of the institution’s activity on both sides of the exercise of temporal and spiritual power - constitutes the fulcrum of the dissertation. Therefore, the analytical examination of the documentation is aimed at reconstructing from a logical point of view the hypothetical structure of the documentary complex, as the end point of the historical evolution of the ordering practices implemented by the central bureaucratic apparatus of government of the principality and diocese between the 14th and 18th centuries. Ultimately, this effort is intended to delineate the final parable of this process and to provide a snapshot, albeit partial and somewhat faded of a fonds that, in its organicity, no longer exists. However, this experiment of virtual reconstruction of the archival fond into its hypothetical articulations in sub-fonds, series and sub-series takes on its most convincing meaning when one considers how the ways in which the episcopal principality organized, selected and prepared for use and conservation its own documentation are themselves a source of information for the history of the institution.

Tra le varie possibilità metodologiche ed ermeneutiche per lo studio di un poema epico, ci concentreremo qui sulla questione della storicità dell'opera, il suo momento di composizione e le risposte ai precedenti epici. Come una epopea eroico-storica, l'Eneide è intesa come documento di complessità inesauribile per studiare il tempo del poeta. Cerchiamo di valutare come le promesse di apoteosi dell'eroe e dei suoi discendenti, Giulio Cesare e Ottaviano, sono collegate nella trama, offrendo alla casa dei principi da cui deriva l'Imperatore Augusto, domus Iulia, ascendenza divina ed eroica. In grado, quindi, di rafforzare la sua posizione di prestigio sociale e politico, mettendo la famiglia imperiale di sopra delle altre famiglie aristocratiche. Il poeta fa Giove promettere all'eroe, figlio di Venere, un tipo di sollevamento ad sidera, allo scopo di ricordare la consecratio/katasterismos di Giulio Cesare la cui anima è stata identificata alla stella che è apparsa nei cieli di Roma alla celebrazione dei Giochi per la Vittoria di Cesare - Ludi Victoriae Caesaris (44 a.C). Ottaviano, a sua volta, è citato come un dio potenziale con un posto riservato nel pantheon romano. Più di una determinazione dello fatum, Virgilio presenta la prospettiva di sollevamento stellare basata sul merito rappresentato sia dalla reputazione e dalla uirtus che sono costruiti nella vita dell'individuo. In concomitanza con l'analisi ermeneutica dello epico, il nostro sforzo metodologico si sviluppa in due direzioni: in primo luogo, facciamo un passo indietro al periodo repubblicano per seguire le tracce dello radicamento di Enea divinizzato nelle leggende di fondazione e nella topografia del Lazio. Inoltre, dalle testimonianze testuali e dalle monete mettiamo in discussione il legame tra l'eroe troiano alla genealogia della famiglia degli Iulii. Nel secondo movimento, al di là del periodo di composizione dell'Eneide, abbiamo cercato di valutare l'investimento nella genealogia troiana e la riappropriazione di temi epici nelle cerimonie, monumenti e sculture del primo secolo. Quindi, abbiamo anche analizzato le appropriazioni dello tema della divinizzazione di Enea da altri autori come Livio, Dionigi di Alicarnasso e, soprattutto, Ovidio nelle Metamorfosi. / We investigate in this Thesis a specific element of Aeneas’ myth: the heroic divinization that appears as a promise of fatum in the lines of the Aeneid, epic poem composed between the years 29 and 19 BC. Among the several methodological and hermeneutical possibilities for the study of an epic, we focus on the problem of the historicity of the work, its moment of composition and the responses to previous epic models. As a heroic-historical epic, the Aeneid is understood as an inexhaustible and complex document for studying the poet's time. We try to assess how the promises of apotheosis of this hero and his descendants, Julius Caesar and Octavian, are linked into the plot, providing to the rulers house, from which comes the Emperor Augustus, Domus Iulia, heroic and divine ancestry. Able, therefore, to strengthen its social and political prestige, putting the imperial family apart from the other aristocratic families. The poet reserves to this hero, son of Venus, one kind of upswing ad sidera in order to recall the consecratio/katasterismos of Julius Caesar whose soul has been identified to star – sidus/astrumv - that appeared in the skies of Rome during the celebration of the Games in Honor of Caesar's Victory - Ludi Victoriae Caesaris (44 a.C). More than a settlement of fatum, Virgil presents the prospect of stellar ascension based on merit represented by the fame and uirtus which are both constructed during the individual's life. Allong with the hermeneutic analysis, our methodological effort unfolds in two directions: firstly, we step back to the republican past to track the rooting of Aeneas deified in the foundation narratives and topography of Latium. Moreover, from textual sources and numismatic evidence, we bring the issue of the constructed link between the Trojan hero and the genealogy of the Iulii. In a second movement, we seek to evaluate the investment in Trojan genealogy and the reappropriation of epic themes by the ceremonies, monuments and sculptural artifacts from the first century AD. Therefore, we analyze the reappropriation of this theme of Aeneas' divinization by the augustan authors, Livy, Dionysius of Halicarnassus and especially Ovid in Metamorphoses. / Investigamos nesta Tese um elemento específico do mito de Enéias: a divinização heroica que aparece como promessa do fatum nas linhas da Eneida de Virgílio, poema épico composto entre os anos 29 e 19 a.C. Buscamos avaliar como as promessas de apoteose do herói e seus descendentes, Júlio César e Otávio, estão concatenadas na trama, conferindo à casa de governantes a qual se liga o Imperador Augusto, domus Iulia, ancestralidade divina e heroica. Capaz, portanto, de reforçar sua posição de prestígio social e político frente às outras famílias aristocráticas. O poeta reserva ao heroi, filho de Vênus, um tipo de elevação ad sidera, de forma a rememorar a consecratio/katasterismos de Júlio César cuja alma foi identificada ao astro – astrum/ sidus - que apareceu nos céus de Roma durante celebração dos Jogos à Vitória de César - Ludi Victoriae Caesaris (44 a.C). Otávio, por sua vez, é mencionado como um diuus em potência, com um lugar reservado no panteão romano. Mais do que uma determinação do fatum, Virgílio apresenta esta perspectiva de ascensão sideral fundamentada no mérito, representado tanto pela fama quanto pela uirtus que são construídas em vida pelo indivíduo. Concomitante à análise hermenêutica do épico, nosso esforço metodológico se desdobra em dois sentidos: primeiramente, recuamos ao passado republicano para rastrear na documentação textual e arqueológica o enraizamento de Enéias divinizado nas narrativas fundacionais e na topografia do Lácio. Ademais, a partir das fontes textuais e da evidência numismática, problematizamos a vinculação do heroi troiano à genealogia familiar dos Iulii. Em um segundo movimento, para além do período de composição da Eneida, buscamos avaliar o investimento na genealogia troiana e a reapropriação de temas épicos nos cerimoniais, monumentos e artefatos esculturais do século I d.C. Por conseguinte, nos debruçamos sobre as reapropriações do tema da divinização de Enéias pelos autores do Principado de Augusto, Tito Lívio, Dionísio de Halicarnasso e especialmente Ovídio nas Metamorfoses.
