Analyses of writing culture in tenth-century Rome have been impeded by an absence of manuscripts and documents that can be assigned unquestionably to scriptoria in the city. This paper will examine the possibility that one such document has hitherto been hiding in plain sight, as it were: the dower charter given by Emperor Otto II to the Byzantine princess Theophanu on the occasion of their marriage in St Peter's on 14 April 972. Usually considered to be ‘Ottonian’, rather than ‘Italian’ or ‘Roman’, this document nevertheless states explicitly that it was undertaken at the Roman church of Santi Apostoli, and this possibility is assessed in light of what is known about that church, the Via Lata region and their connections to the foremost noble family in the city.

奥托二世和泰奥法努的嫁妆宪章，以及圣阿波斯托利的罗马圣经

对十世纪罗马书写文化的分析由于缺乏可以毫无疑问地分配到该市的写字楼的手稿和文件而受到阻碍。本文将探讨这样一份文件迄今为止一直隐藏在公众视线中的可能性，因为它是：奥托二世皇帝于 972 年 4 月 14 日在圣彼得教堂结婚时授予拜占庭公主 Theophanu 的嫁妆许可。通常被认为是“Ottonian”，而不是“Italian”或“Roman”，但该文件明确指出它是在 Santi Apostoli 罗马教堂进行的，并且根据对该教堂的了解评估这种可能性， Via Lata 地区及其与该市最重要的贵族家庭的联系。
