    The theme of páperos (“poors”) in medieval Sardinia (XI-XII century) has been object of many studies since the end of nineteenth century. The historiography mainly put its attention on binomial donnos paperos (“poor lords”) and identifi ed these fi gures now with the giudice and the members of his family, now with the notables of the giudicato, now with the monks, now with the “poor knights”, but somebody thinks paperos are the inhabitants of the village communities. Basing itself on fundamental studies of Bosl, Mollat, Patlagean, this essay analyzes the phenomenon in comparative terms, trying to explain the origin and the meaning of so-called paperos, which are to identify with the lower classes, but not indigent, of medieval Sardinian society, verifying possible Byzantine heritages and analogies with the Carolingian world

    Nell’ambito degli studi malaspiniani è stato prevalente in passato l’interesse per la storia degli avvenimenti, per gli aspetti architettonici (i castelli soprattutto), per i quadri genealogici e le vicende dei singoli rami familiari o dei singoli territori. Il saggio si propone di superare questo approccio, cercando, grazie ad un preliminare riordino delle fonti, di fare luce sulle forme del dominio signorile in Sardegna, ridimensionando il problema delle “origini” per privilegiare l’analisi degli strumenti, degli uomini, della dialettica tra signore e comunità rurali, delle dinamiche sociali ed economiche.The previous studies on Malaspina Family were mostly devoted to evenemential history, to architectural issues (especially on castles), to genealogies and to the vicissitudes of the family branches or of the territories. Thanks to a preliminary reordering of the sources, this paper would get over this approach. It would try to throw light on the characteristics of lordship in Sardinia by reducing the problem of the “origins” and by bringing out the analysis of tools and men, the analysis of the dialectics between lord and rural communities, and the analysis of the social and economic dynamics
