Following this static view, bishops were considered mere performers of specific functions within said system. Over the last decades, more dynamic perspectives have emerged, inquiring about the type of office rising from concrete actions. In the last book of his Chronicon, the chronicler and Bishop Thietmar of Merseburg reflects on the tasks of the good shepherd and he intends to offer some advice to readers and/or prospect bishops. Suggestions include earthly matters, the administration of the diocese and pastoral care; tackling what is expected as to episcopal status and how the office is personally constructed and developed. This article proposes to analize both the episcopal figure in Thietmar’s Chronicle by placing the bishop in the middle of two worlds: secular and spiritual¸and the tensions deriving from this, not only regarding the construction and exercise of authority, but also in relation with the rest of the (secular) powers.  Hace ya algunas décadas, el trabajo de Timothy Reuter generó una serie de cuestionamientos al sistema de la iglesia imperial o Reichskirchensystem, concepto que había prevalecido en la historiografía alemana para explicar la estrecha unión entre obispos y reyes/emperadores de la era otoniana. Aquella mirada estática entendía a las figuras episcopales como meros ejecutores de funciones específicas dentro de dicho sistema. En las últimas décadas han surgido perspectivas más dinámicas que se preguntan por el tipo de oficio surgido de la acción concreta. En el último libro del Chronicon, el cronista y obispo Thietmar de Merseburg reflexiona sobre la tarea del buen pastor y pretende elaborar una serie de consejos para los lectores y sucesores en la silla episcopal. Las sugerencias que se encuentran allí involucran las acciones del mundo terrenal, la administración de la diócesis y el cuidado de las almas, moviéndose entre lo esperado del status episcopal y la construcción y desarrollo personal de la función. Proponemos, entonces, pensar en la figura episcopal manifiesta en la obra de Thietmar a partir del posicionamiento entre esos dos mundos, el secular y el espiritual, y las tensiones involucradas entre los mismos, no sólo en vinculación con la construcción y el ejercicio de la autoridad y la función, sino también con las relaciones con el resto de los poderes  Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires 2018-11-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/6423 10.34096/ahamm.v52.6423 Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna; Vol. 52 (2018); 63-74 1853-1555 1514-9927 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/6423/5668
