Il matrimonio di Dante
Full text linkL’articolo analizza l’esiguo corpus di documenti che riguardano il matrimonio tra Dante Alighieri e Gemma Donati. L’autrice propone innanzitutto alcune correzioni all’interpretazione dell’instrumentum dotis, perduto, e poi analizza i problemi sollevati dal documento, in particolare l’età degli sposi. Si passa poi ad analizzare la dote di Gemma in maniera comparativa con gli altri matrimoni dell’epoca a Firenze; ultima questione studiata è la restituzione della dote alla Donati nel quadro delle confische dei beni degli esiliati
« Multe sunt mulieres in matrimonio existentes que habent bona propria ». Réflexions conclusives sur le dossier « Beyond their dowries »
Full text linkDe l’avis des officiers du catasto florentin de 1427, cité dans le titre de cet article, de l’avis des hommes de loi et sans doute aussi des notaires, au Moyen Âge et à l’époque moderne, les femmes propriétaires de quelque chose de plus qu’une simple dot étaient « nombreuses ». Les études rassemblées dans ce dossier thématique confirment qu’il convient aux historien-ne-s de la famille et des femmes de déplacer le regard « au-delà de la dot » pour observer sous un angle différent l’articulatio..
Can widows live on their dowry?
Full text linkBased on a qualitative reading of the Florentine catasto of 1427 understood as a narrative source, the article investigates the use of dowry during widowhood. After pointing out that, widows in the family usually do not recover their dowry, which remains in the state of credit in the estate of their children and heirs, the article focuses on widows who “leave” the home of the deceased husband and need the dowry to remarry or to sustain themselves. These widows denounce their immediate material impoverishment due to the delays in returning the dowry and to the fact that they “have neither a house nor household goods”. The article highlights some less investigated features of the dowry: its volatility – the dowry appears as a high-risk capital – and its remarkable plasticity between marriage and widowhood. During its life cycle, the dowry often changes form, value and legal status: from credit to full property; from capital entirely handed over to the husband to capital only partially returned to the widow or even squandered and lost; from movable property (received from the father at the time of the marriage) to immovable property taken from the husband’s inheritance; but also, from full property to usufruct or life annuity. Widows participate as investors in the credit market, seeking an income or a life annuity, and they turn to credit intermediaries still little investigated as small shopkeepers and artisans
«'Breadwinners'. Familles florentines au travail dans le catasto de 1427»,
No full textCet article exploite la richesse narrative des portate du catasto de 1427 (les déclarations fiscales, autographes ou dictées, 'apportées' par les contribuables eux-même à l'administration fiscale) pour éclairer les familles laborieuses du popolo minuto florentin. Malgré la forte indétermination du travail féminin propre à toute source fiscale, il apparaît indirectement que l'activité des épouses est majoritaire, indispensable aux revenus du ménage ; les enfants apportent eux aussi une contribution non négligeable, en soulageant la famille de leur entretien, de leur dotation, et grâce à un modeste salaire. L'épouse travailleuse émerge un peu plus clairement dans les situations qui privent les familles de son principal 'breadwinner' : chômage, faillite, abandon de l'épouse et des enfants, décès. L'observation des familles laborieuses montre enfin qu'il existe, durant toute la vie des femmes du popolo minuto, une relation à la fois nécessaire et complémentaire entre la dot et le travail rémunéré pour le marché.This article uses the narrative richness of the portate catasto 1427 (tax returns, autographs or dictated, 'brought' by the taxpayers themselves to the tax authorities) to illuminate the working families of Florentine popolo minuto. Despite the strong indeterminacy of working women tipical of any tax census, it appears indirectly that the activity of the wives prevails and it is essential to the household income; children also bring a significant contribution, relieving the family of their maintenance, their endowment, and with a modest salary. The working wife emerges a little more clearly in situations that deprive families of its main 'breadwinner', such as unemployment, bankruptcy, abandonment of the wife and children, death. The observation of the laboring families finally shows that, throughout the life of the women of the popolo minuto, it exits a relationship both necessary and complementary between dowry and paid work for the market

A Fraternity without blood ties? Relations between brothers- and sisters in law in Florence in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth centuries
No full textIn the Florentine society of the Late Middle Ages, where the ideology of patrilineal lineage and the dotal regime largely dominated, the place of residence, filiation, inheritance rules, transmission of names, and possession of property delineated a family horizon that included mainly the male mem- bers among blood relatives and left little room for women who entered and left the house or for relatives acquired through marriage. However, we know the usefulness that Florentines recognised in the construction of matrimonial alliances – parentadi – and the extreme attention they paid to the choice of these parenti. But the affini – Florentines refer to in-laws as parenti – almost never cohabited with the family of the woman to whom they were related, they were not among her potential heirs, and the bonds that were forged during marriage could be undone very quickly, often leading to conflict and resentment, especially when the husband’s death put an end to the couple and often left a young widow with her dowry to be recovered. In fact, the in-laws – the parenti – also occupy little space in Florentine family diaries except when the author described the different phases of the construction of the marriage alliance or its dissolution, rituals and conflicts. But they do not disappear completely and it may be interesting to try to discover evidence they have left behind
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
