“…The Curia heavily influenced the emerging rules and artefacts related to economic collective action in Western Europe (for the case of Germany, see Gomez and Wirtz 2008). It diabolized and then institutionalized commercial practices and the use of interest-based loans during the 12th century (see Le Goff 1981. Indeed, at that time, in the face of inevitable economic insurgency that threatened its spiritual dominance, the Church adopted a pragmatic position by tolerating some forms of commercial and financial practices.…”

“…The creation of Purgatory (during the 12th century) offered 'sinners' (notably merchants and bankers) a new space between hell and heaven. This had a remarkable effect on the rise of capitalism by favouring a new structure of mentalities (Le Goff 1981Goff , 2001. 3 But beyond its institutional role, the Church, as a specific organizational object, can also provide fruitful lessons for organizational scientists.…”

This article puts forwards a ‘reorientationist’ perspective about the genealogy of collective action and artefacts deployed for its orientation. It draws on the history of religion and religious organizations as elaborated by several promoters of the so-called ‘new histor y’ in France.These historians (mainly medievalist) can be helpful in writing a different genealogy of contemporary models of collective action (i.e. ways of reaching a goal together) and their institutional context in western countries.They can also facilitate a critical understanding of long-range organizational dynamics.

“…Latourette (1953) is especially detailed on the political and territorial implications. appointment of bishops, the papal control over monastic and other orders, the celibacy of the clergy, the infallibility of the pope on theological matters, the designation of saints (on which more below), a geography of the afterlife crucially including the Purgatory (Le Goff 1981), and the promulgation and enforcement of rules of good Christian conduct for the laity (Bossy 1970(Bossy , 1975(Bossy , 1983(Bossy , 1988) -took centuries to be firmly established. Thus the history of the church can be read as an unbroken, though wavering, trend toward increasing centralization of both decision-making and implementation control.…”

The Roman Catholic Church has been turning out new saints for two millennia. The argument advanced here is that the saint–making process is arranged as an open contest for sainthood: by combining competitive initiative and pressure from below with exclusive adjudication from above, it provides effective incentives for participants to direct their efforts toward the best interests of the church. This is a key factor that counters bureaucratic ossification and keeps the church thriving. The argument implies that the secular pattern of canonizations should mirror the changing pattern of church demand rather than any exogenous supply of saintly persons, and should translate into a pattern of rise and decline of religious orders which specialize in particular virtues meeting particular demands. Statistical data on canonizations in the second millennium strongly support this empirical implication. An earlier draft of this paper was presented at a panel on Public Choice and the Millennium in the annual meeting of the European Public Choice Society, Siena, 26–29 April, 2000, whose participants provided interesting discussion. The author is particularly indebted to George Akerlof, Vani Borooah, Alberto Cassone, Joan Delaney Grossman, Gregory Grossman, Ronald Wintrobe, Robert Young, and a referee of this Journal for useful comments and suggestions. The revised version was completed while the author was visiting professor at the Department of Economics of the University of California at Berkeley, whose support is gratefully acknowledged.

RiassuntoL'articolo si occupa del breve, e pressoché sconosciuto, carme latino di Albertino Mussato intitolato Somnium, il quale racconta il viaggio onirico dell'autore nell'Aldilà. Come è stato già rilevato dalla critica, si tratta di un esercizio erudito in polemica con Dante e legato alle fonti classiche, soprattutto a Virgilio. Il presente articolo intende piuttosto definire la posizione del testo nella tradizione delle visioni medievali dell'Aldilà, ovvero classificare i motivi descrittivi e narrativi usati dall'autore, confrontarli con testi medievali precedenti o contemporanei a Mussato e sottolineare le soluzioni ibride e originali che l'autore apporta alla tradizione. Anche se l'innovazione del canone delle visioni dell'Aldilà non appare come una priorità per Mussato, il carme fornisce comunque un curioso esempio di contaminazione dei generi e delle forme della letteratura medievale. Parole chiaveAlbertino Mussato; visione; Virgilio; umanesimo; Dante; genere letterario; contaminazione; l'Aldilà AbstractThe article deals with a short, almost unknown Latin poem by Albertino Mussato entitled Somnium, which relates the author's oniric journey into the afterlife. As has already been noted by critics, it is a scholarly exercise in controversy with Dante and linked to classical sources, especially Virgil. The present article defines the position of the text in the tradition of medieval visions of the afterlife: it classifies the descriptive and narrative motifs used by the author, compares them with medieval texts previous or contemporary to Mussato and underlines the hybrid and original solutions provided by the author to this tradition. Although the innovation of the canon of visions of the afterlife does not appear to be Mussato's priority, it nevertheless provides a curious example of the contamination of the genres and forms of medieval literature. KeywordsAlbertino Mussato; vision; Vergil; Humanism; Dante; literary genre; contamination; afterlife. 2018-02-22; ACCETTATO 2018-04-25 Il presente articolo è stato preparato nell'ambito del progetto IGA_FF_2018_015 della Palacký University Olomouc.
