This cultural and institutional history explores the careers of men
who served in Rome's Office of Ceremonies during the papal court's
growth period (c.1466-1528), in order to understand how the
smallest papal college stands as a model of early modern curial
advancement. The experiences and textual contributions of three
ceremonialists, Agostino Patrizi, Johann Burchard, and Paris de'
Grassi, show diverse strategies and origins, but similar concerns
and achievements. In a period of heightened competition and
increasing pressure for regularization and reform, the Office's
professionalization and their combined office-holding, networks,
and textual production, reveal how early modern curialists got
ahead. This study shows the complexity of successful advancement
strategies that were cultivated over decades and stretched far
beyond papal support.
