Prof. Dr. Anja Bettenworth (Köln) and Prof. Dr. Claudia Gronemann (Mannheim) give a double lecture:
Topic: "Augustin Theiner (1804-1874) - der in Ungnade gefallene Präfekt des Vatikanischen Geheimarchivs"
The lecture is part of the study day on the archivist of the Holy See, Augustin Theiner. His tomb is located on the Campo Santo Teutonico.
The lecture of Herman H. Schwedt (Salsomaggiore) is chanceled for reasons of health.
The famous and controversial archivist of the Holy See Augustin Theiner (1804-1874), who will have the 150th anniversary of his death next year, has a special connection with Campo Santo Teutonico, as he not only belonged, since 1838, to the Archconfraternity but also found his grave in the German cemetery. Theiner was an opponent of the dogma of infallibility.
In honour of Prof. Dr Johannes Grohe - in anticipation of his 70th birthday - an international conference on "Archives of monasteries and religious orders from the Middle Ages to the present: between administration, authority of knowledge and historical research / Les archives des ordres religieux du Moyen Age à nos jours: entre administration, autorité du savoir et science historique" will be held at the RIGG. The organisers are Dr Jörg Voigt (Hanover), RIGG's Medieval Desk Officer, and Dr Augustin Laffay OP (Rome), Director of the General Archives of the Dominicans.
In honour of Cardinal Kurt Koch, who will reach the age of 75 on 15 March 2025, a scientific symposium on the theme of "Unity and Uniqueness" will be held at the Angelicum and the Gregorian University from 6 to 8 March 2024, to which all friends of the Cardinal and those interested are cordially invited. It will be a scientific conference in which Cardinal Koch will be an active participant and co-discussant.
From 26 to 29 July, an international conference "Christian - Heroine - Queen: Maghrebian and European Perspectives on Literary Women in Ancient North Africa" will take place at the RIGG.

In a way, the event is a continuation of the Augustine Conference of March 2019 published in the Roman Quarterly.
