The interest shown by Cardinal Carlo Barberini (Rome, 1630‐1704; cardinal from 23 June 1653) in the images connected with the synods he convened in the two abbeys nullius dioeceseos of Subiaco and Farfa reflects the importance he gave to his power over these two institutions, of which he was commendatory abbot. This position implied not only the spiritual and temporal government of the abbeys and their dependent territories (like that of a bishop), but the right to gather their income. These synods may be regarded as a sort of public enthronement, further enhanced by the related prints commissioned by the cardinal. This article presents new information found during archival research on Carlo Barberini as patron of prints. Unpublished documents in the Barberini Archives of the Vatican Library relate to seven etchings, payments made to the printmakers and printers, and other interesting technical details. The etchers commissioned by Cardinal Barberini – the Frenchman Dominique Barrière and the Italian Francesco Bufalini – were relatively famous. The copper plates used for the prints studied here are also identified.

印制为权力的交流：红衣主教卡洛·巴贝里尼（Carlo Barberini）及其修道院的主教座堂

红衣主教卡罗·巴贝里尼（Carlo Barberini）（罗马，1630-1704年； 1653年6月23日，红衣主教）对与他在Subiaco和Farfa的两个修道院无效的dioeceseos召集的宗教会议有关的图像表现出的兴趣，反映出他对这两个权力的重视机构，其中他是表彰的住持。这一立场不仅暗示着修道院及其附属领土（如主教的领土）在精神上和世俗上的统治，而且意味着收取他们收入的权利。这些主教会议可被视为一种公共场合，由红衣主教委托进行的相关印刷进一步得到了加强。本文介绍了在卡洛·巴贝里尼（Carlo Barberini）作为版画赞助者的档案研究过程中发现的新信息。梵蒂冈图书馆的巴贝里尼档案馆中未出版的文件涉​​及七幅蚀刻版画，向印刷商和打印机付款，以及其他有趣的技术细节。由红衣主教巴贝里尼（Barberini）委托的蚀刻机-法国人DominiqueBarrière和意大利人弗朗切斯科·布法里尼（Francesco Bufalini）相对著名。还确定了用于此处研究的印刷品的铜板。
