The discovery on the archeological site of the former cathedral group of Autun of the probable remains of the domus ecclesiae mentioned in the VIIth century led to an examination of the question of these structures with multiple functions and a study of their development, as they are very often at the origin of episcopal palaces, as it is clearly the case in Autun.It is moreover at Autun itself, in the bishop’s palace, that this conference was held from November 26 to 28, 2009. The fourteen presentations joined together here, which concern European cases as well as those from the whole of the Mediterranean world, tend to define more fully the character of early episcopal residences in respect to buildings for worship, to comprehend their design and to follow their evolution. They also underline the difficulty of the interpretation of the textual and archaeological data, when they exist. La découverte sur le site archéologique de l’ancien groupe cathédral d’Autun des vestiges probables de la domus ecclesiae mentionnée au VIIe siècle a conduit à examiner la question de ces structures aux fonctions multiples et à étudier leur devenir, puisque bien souvent elles sont à l’origine des palais épiscopaux, comme c’est clairement le cas à Autun.C’est d’ailleurs à Autun même, dans l’évêché, que s’est tenu ce colloque les 26-28 novembre 2009. Les quatorze présentations ici réunies, qui concernent des cas européens et de l’ensemble du monde méditerranéen, tendent à mieux cerner la configuration des résidences épiscopales primitives par rapport aux édifices de culte, d’en saisir l’organisation et de suivre leur évolution. Elles soulignent également la difficulté de l’interprétation des données textuelles et archéologiques, quand elles existent.
