Abstract:I Castra Equitum Singularium dalla linea delle mura si spingevano probabilmente fino alla facciata settentrionale dell’attuale Palazzo Lateranense. Le aedes Laterani
(= Domus Faustae) dovevano trovarsi sotto la Scala Santa e costituivano la sede del vescovo di Roma almeno dal V sec. La domus Annii Veri va posta poco più a sud o subito a nord-est, ma in tal caso la domus dei Pompeii va spostata verso via Merulana. Adiacente al Patriarchio viene citata dal Liber pontificalis la domus Iulia.

This paper offers a fresh appraisal of the problems of the existence, location and contents of the papal library, and the associated problems of Roman script and Roman book production in the early Middle Ages. The palaeography and codicology of books from Rome, and books possibly produced in Rome, between the sixth and the ninth centuries, are reassessed in the light of current scholarship. This includes a discussion of the possible loss of Roman books originally written on papyrus, and of books in both Latin and Greek. The current archaeological evidence relating to a Lateran library and its location is considered. The implications of the evidence relating to the papal scrinium, archive and library are discussed, with particular reference to the proceedings of the Lateran Council of 649. It is argued that these records actually provide important evidence for the contents and use of the Lateran library in the early Middle Ages. The paper proposes that the papal library had a crucial function as well as a symbolic role in the early Middle Ages as a repository of orthodox and authoritative texts.

“…This residence, no longer visible, has been identified as the house of the Quintilii thanks to the stamps found on the fistulae that brought water to it (Santa Maria Scrinari, 1995: 41–50). The second complex, to the east, has been identified with the property of Domitia Lucilla (Santa Maria Scrinari, 1995: 50–126; Liverani, 2004) again due to stamped fistulae recovered from the site 2 . It was this second complex (SGL2.4) that was investigated by our team.…”
