The research team will rebuild the cultural, social and economic context in which minorities were acting in the territory of the Papal State through the available sources of the Holy Office
The project promoters intend to create a digital database on a thematic basis of the Holy Office documents relating to ethnic minorities with particular attention to the Armenians, the Sephardian and the Orthodox faith groups. The data collected will then be inserted into an open web page or in an HTML page - on demand. The entire project will also result in a scientific publication on the theme of technological innovation applied to research on the relationship between the Inquisition and ethnic minorities. Through the Roman Inquisition archive funds and those of other documentary conservation organizations, the level of ¿inculturation¿ of some ethnic minorities in the State of the Church, with special attention to Rome and Ancona, will be analyzed.
