Book Synopsis Courts and Conflict in Twelfth-century Tuscany by : Chris Wickham
Book excerpt: This study of disputes and their settlement in twelfth- century Tuscany is more than just legal history. Studded with colorful contemporary narratives, the book explores the mindsets of medieval Italians, and examines the legal framework which structured their society. Chris Wickham uncovers the interrelationships and collisions between different legal systems, and in doing so provides a new understanding of mentalities and power in the Italian city-state.
