Abstract

Introduction -- Making and breaking betrothal contracts (Sponsalia) in late Trecento Florence / with Osvaldo Cavallar -- Li Emergenti Bisogni Matrimoniali in Renaissance Florence -- Materials for a gilded cage: nondotal assets in Florence, 1300-1500 -- The morning after: collecting Monte dowries in Renaissance Florence -- The seven percent fund of Renaissance Florence / with Jacob Klerman -- Wives' claims against insolvent husbands in late medieval Italy -- Women married elsewhere: gender and citizenship in medieval Italy -- Dowry, domicile, and citizenship in late medieval Florence -- Pisa'a "long-arm" Gabella Dotis (1420-1525): issues, cases, legal opinions. "The nine studies gathered in this volume appeared over a twenty-six-year period, from 1985 to 2011. Originally, they were published as contributions to volumes honoring the research and careers of colleagues and the proceedings of conferences held in Europe. Allowing for their diverse origins, the studies share a common focus on three interrelated subjects: marriage, women's property, and citizenship in medieval and Renaissance Italy (1200-1550).
