The private deeds of the Abbey of Santa Maria della Grotta: Patterns and functions in Notarial Practices, 10th - 13th centuries (LEEDS - International Medieval Congress, 04 - 07 july 2016) - Conference paper

12 giugno 2018. Dopo la pubblicazione dell'edizione digitale dei documenti della prima metà del XIII secolo provenienti dall'archivio dell'abbazia di S. Maria in Gruptis a Vitulano, presso Benevento, è non solo possibile ma anche doveroso rendere pubblico, "ad cautelam et memoriam", il documento della conferenza discussa a Leeds il 4 luglio 2016, nella sessione 335 (Southern Italy in the Norman and Staufen Periods, III: 'Documents and Digital Technologies'). La conferenza del luglio 2016, accompagnata da una presentazione PPT: https://www.academia.edu/36830061/The\_private\_deeds\_of\_the\_Abbey\_of\_Santa\_Maria\_della\_Grotta\_Patterns\_and\_functions\_in\_Notarial\_Practices\_10th\_13th\_centuries\_LEEDS\_International\_Medieval\_Congress\_04\_07\_july\_2016\_PPT\_Slides, ha riguardato le più antiche 92 pergamene dell'Abbazia di S. Maria della Grotta presso Vitulano (Benevento), datate tra il 1101 e il 1199 (pubblicate dalla dott. Antonella Ambrosio dell'Università di Napoli Federico II), e di 69 documenti inediti redatti dal 1200 al 1231, che fanno parte dell'edizione digitale dei documenti prodotti dall'Abbazia tra il 1200 e il 1250, appena pubblicata on line il 31 maggio 2018 (http://monasterium.net/mom/SMG1200-1250/collection) e in corso di stampa per Carlone Editore. L'analisi dei documenti dell'Abbazia, confrontati con le forme assunte dalla documentazione in altre città dell'ex Principato longobardo di Benevento fino al XII secolo, può contribuire a definire un quadro dello sviluppo notarile e delle pratiche di documentazione nell'antico Principato longobardo di Benevento nell'Italia meridionale. Questo studio si collega ad una riflessione più approfondita su questo tema, iniziata molti anni fa, riguardante i modelli documentari adottati dai notai e sull'evoluzione di questi modelli tra il X secolo e il primo trentennio del XIII, per individuare gli elementi di continuità e di discontinuità che sono al tempo stesso la ragione e la conseguenza di una società in trasformazione. June 12, 2018. After the publication of the digital edition of the documents of the first half of the 13th century from the archive of the abbey of S. Maria in Gruptis in Vitulano, near Benevento, it is not only possible but also dutiful to make public, “ad cautelam et memoriam”, the conference paper discussed at Leeds on 4th July 2016, in the session 335 (Southern Italy in the Norman and Staufen Periods, III: ‘Documents and Digital Technologies’). The conference of July 2016, accompanied by a PPT presentation: https://www.academia.edu/36830061/The\_private\_deeds\_of\_the\_Abbey\_of\_Santa\_Maria\_della\_Grotta\_Patterns\_and\_functions\_in\_Notarial\_Practices\_10th\_13th\_centuries\_LEEDS\_International\_Medieval\_Congress\_04\_07\_july\_2016\_PPT\_Slides>, dealed with the oldest 92 parchments of the Abbey of S. Maria della Grotta near Vitulano (Benevent), dated between 1101 and 1199 (published by Dr. Antonella Ambrosio of the University of Naples Federico II), and of 69 unpublished documents written from 1200 up to 1231, that are part of the digital edition of the documents produced from from the Abbey between 1200 and 1250, just published on line on May 31, 2018 (http://monasterium.net/mom/SMG1200-1250/collection) and being printed for Carlone Editore. The analysis of the documents of the Abbey, comparing them to the forms taken by the documentation in other towns of the ex Lombard Principality of Benevent up to the 12th century, may help to define a picture of the notarial development and of documentation practices in the ancient Lombard Principality of Benevento in Southern Italy. This study is connected to a deeper reflection on this topic, started many years ago, concerning the documentary models adopted by notaries and on the evolution of these patterns between the 10th century and the first thirty years of the 13th, to identify the elements of continuity and discontinuity that are at the same time the reason and the consequence of a changing society.

A turning point in European administrative and documentary practices was traditionally associated, most famously by Robert-Henri Bautier, with the monarchies of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century. By summarizing previous research in this field, as well as by using both published and unpublished sources, this article intends to underline an earlier process of transition connected to the development of significant new techniques for the production and preservation of documents in Renaissance Italian city-states. Focusing on the important case of Florence, the administrative uses of records connected to government, diplomacy and military needs will be discussed, and evidence will be provided that such documentary practices had a significant acceleration during the so called Italian Wars (from 1494 onwards). A particular reason of interest of Florence at this time is that a major role in the production and storage of a large quantity of state papers was played by Niccolò Machiavelli, one of the outstanding political thinkers of the age. This was especially true in connection to the new militia which he himself created in 1506. By stressing the role of information management and the importance of correspondence networks in a time of war and crisis, this article also contributes to recent scholarship which has focused on the growth of public records relating to diplomacy in Italy during the second half of the fifteenth century, as well as to a recent field of historiography which has recently gained importance: namely the ‘documentary history of institutions’.

Stefano Santarelli - Beyond Italy. Portuguese and English notaries in the Late Middle Ages (thirteenth-fourteenth centuries)

Global turns, local circles. People, ideas and models in flux in Medieval Europe, 2022

This essay aims to investigate the particular phenomenon of the notary considering also a more far-reaching pattern, that is to verify the legitimacy of a reading of the European notarial system as result and trace of continuous contacts and mutual influences among the various European areas and Italy, thanks chiefly to commercial exchanges and to the widespread presence of the Church. Such idea threw a bridge between the Italian notary of the fourteenth century and the coeval expressions of the phenomenon beyond the Alps, and this paper focuses on two areas that ideally represent a limes (limit) of the European medieval world: on the one hand, Portugal, the extreme limit in the West; on the other hand, England, the limit in the North, characterized by a peculiar alterity that places it a step further than the solid classical and Mediterranean roots of the rest of Europe.
