Propter conversationem diversarum gentium: migrating words and merchants in medieval Pisa
Get PDFAlready in the 11th century, Pisa, one of the four Maritimer Republics, was an international economic power. Its prosperity led to the early development (1080s) of typical communal institutions (consules) as well as to the drafting of the most ancient and most exhaustive examples of written ius proprium that have survived until nowadays: the Constitutum Legis (CL) and the Constitutum Usus (CU). The drafting of both texts began in 1155 but only the second one entered in force with no doubt in 1160. It included the customs of the city, with particular reference to feudal law, commercial and maritime law. Otherwise, the CL contained the procedural, family and inheritance law based first on Lombard law and afterwards on Roman law, as the analysis of the three surviving manuscripts demonstrates. At the time of Pisa’s supremacy, i.e. until the second half of the 13th century, merchants from the Republic could be found everywhere: from Sardinia to Catalonia, the Middle East and North Africa (especially Alexandria and Tunis). On the other hand, Pisa itself was a crossroads of ethnicities and cultures: at the beginning of the 12th cent. it appeared as a new Babel to the monk Donizo of Canossa. Considering the travels of merchants from Pisa as well as the convergence in the city of foreign traders, this paper aims at analyzing the law and language used by the mercatores in Pisa and the possible influences coming from abroad at hand of the CU, as its very foreword states that Pisa “gained” many unwritten customs “propter conversationem diversarum gentium per diversas mundi partes”, i.e. thanks to the “dialogue” with people of different parts of the world

Dalla Biblioteca Comunale di Urbania: due raccolte musicali per un interprete
No full textIn the Library of Urbania (Marche, Italy) six musical manuscripts containing seventeenth century arias and cantatas are preserved. They belonged to an aristocratic family of Apecchio, (Marche), the Ubaldini. This article investigates two of them containing cantatas by Cossoni, Giovanni Bonaventura Viviani, Legrenzi Bassani and others, and in which there is the note “ex libris Antonij Barbarini”. This article reconstructs the origin of these two manuscripts, for whom the author individuated the probable owner, the singer Ippolito Fusai, by means the repertory identified in it. A thorough investigation of this hitherto little-known manuscripts may shed new light on the diffusion and transmission of music in Italy during the Seventeenth and early-Eighteenth centurie
Le cantate profane da camera di Domenico Sarro: primi accertamenti
No full textThe cantata was the principal form of Italian vocal chamber music from the end of the 17th c. to the first half of the 18th c. However, the dearth of documentation for the pre- and post-Scarlatti cantatas and for those in the Neapolitan milieu—where the repertoire was extremely large and associated to a restricted and selected public belonging to the aristocracy—renders their study quite problematic. Although Domenico Natale Sarro (1678-1744) is remembered for its operas and as the master of the royal chapel in Naples, he was also the author of many cantatas and seranatas An analysis of Sarro’s cantatas establishes the centrality of the composer in the Neapolitan milieu of the time
