Through his research on the status of women in Florence and other Italian cities, Julius Kirshner helped to establish the socio-legal history of women in late medieval and Renaissance Italy and ...challenge the idea that Florentine women had an inferior legal position and civic status.
InMarriage, Dowry, and Citizenship in Late Medieval and Renaissance Italy, Kirshner collects nine important essays which address these issues in Florence and the cities of northern and central Italy. Using a cross-disciplinary approach that draws on the methodologies of both social and legal history, the essays in this collection present a wealth of examples of daughters, wives, and widows acting as full-fledged social and legal actors.
Revised and updated to reflect current scholarship, the essays inMarriage, Dowry, and Citizenship in Late Medieval and Renaissance Italyappear alongside an extended introduction which situates them within the broader field of Renaissance legal history.

"Jurists and Jurisprudence in Medieval Italy is an original collection of texts exemplifying medieval Italian jurisprudence, known as the ius commune. Translated for the first time into English, many ...of the texts exist only in early printed editions and manuscripts. Featuring commentaries by leading medieval civil law jurists, notably Azo Portius, Accursius, Albertus Gandinus, Bartolus of Sassoferrato, and Baldus de Ubaldis, this book covers a wide range of topics, including how to teach and study law, the production of legal texts, the ethical norms guiding practitioners, civil and criminal procedures, and family matters. The translations, together with context-setting introductions, highlight fundamental legal concepts and practices and the milieu in which jurists operated. They offer entry points for exploring perennial subjects, such as the professionalization of lawyers, the tangled relationship between law and morality, the role of gender in the socio-legal order, and the extent to which the ius commune can be considered an autonomous system of law."--

Partendo dalle percettive letture e dalla attenta contestualizzazione di Jurists and Jurisprudence in Medieval Italy: Texts and Contexts proposta dai quattro relatori la presente replica s’incentra ...sull’ambiente culturale per cui la nostra raccolta di testi, con introduzioni e bibliografia, è stata concepita e intesa: il corso accademico. Consapevoli che i corsi universitari e i curricula accademici non sono gli stessi in giro per il mondo, ritorniamo su due interrogativi che ci hanno guidato nella progettazione ed esecuzione di questo volume: perché e come insegnare il diritto comune (ius commune)? A queste due domande si può aggiungerne una terza: quali sono i vantaggi o le ricompense di un simile lavoro? La prima parte ripropone le ragioni per la non convenzionale natura del nostro lavoro; la seconda, frammentando l’intero volume in sezioni e sotto-sezioni, esemplifica come i testi vennero usati negli Stati Uniti in un contesto socio-economicamente e culturalmente eterogeneo e con un un gruppo di uditori provenienti da dipartimenti diversi; la terza parte, uscendo da un ambiente anglofono, illustra le reazioni alle traduzioni di un gruppo internazionale di studenti in Giappone che per la prima volta si sono confrontati con il tema della storia del diritto comune.
Essays by leading historians examine the professional, social, and political functions of Italian jurists from the thirteenth to the late fifteenth centuries.
The beginnings of the state in Europe is a central topic of contemporary historical research. The making of such early modern Italian regional states as Florence, the kingdom of Naples, Milan, and ...Venice exemplifies a decisive turn in the state tradition of Western Europe. The Origins of the State in Italy, 1300-1600 represents the best in American, British, and Italian scholarship and offers a valuable and critical overview of the key problems of the emergence of the state in Europe. Some of the topics covered include the political legitimacy of the aborning regional states, the changing legal culture, the conflict between church and state, the forces shaping public finances, and the creation of the Italian League. The eight essays in this collection originally appeared in the Journal of Modern History. Contributors include Roberto Bizzocchi, Giorgio Chittolini, Trevor Dean, Riccardo Fubini, Elena Fasano Guarini, Aldo Mazzacane, Anthony Molho, and Pierangelo Schiera. This volume will appeal to historians, historical sociologists, and historians of political thought.
