The Agency and Practical Learning of a Lay Advocate in Seventeenth-Century Helsinki : The Case of Gabriel Abrahamsson
2018
This chapter discusses seventeenth-century Sweden, where academically trained advocates and procurators emerged but attempts of advocacy monopoly failed. The case of Gabriel Abrahamsson—a son of a pastor, a former cavalryman and farmer, and, later on, a lower-level civil servant in Helsinki—proves that no specific privileged status or academic education was needed for advocacy in lower courts. The tradition to use any reasonable man as a legal representative continued, and trusted men from various social backgrounds with self-acquired legal skills acted as lay advocates. Gabriel learned law by doing. His voluminous private and office litigation enabled him to act increasingly as a legal rep…

L’opération de diagnostic archéologique « 9, rue du Château » à Magny-sur-Tille s’est déroulée du 12 au 14 février 2018.

SALUTE PUBBLICA E GOVERNO DELL’EMERGENZA: LA PESTE DEL 1575 A PALERMO/PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY: PALERMO AND THE PLAGUE OF 1575
2016
Il saggio esamina il contributo della Sicilia all'elaborazione di procedure e strategie di controllo della peste nel contesto del XVI secolo, in particolare in occasione dell’ondata che colpì Palermo nel 1575, quando le autorità municipali assunsero importanti provvedimenti e organizzarono un efficace apparato di salute pubblica per governare l’emergenza, sotto la guida del celebre medico Giovanni Filippo Ingrassia. La ricerca consente di ripensare l’opinione generalmente diffusa di un ritardo del Regno di Sicilia rispetto alle aree la cui organizzazione sanitaria è considerata tra le più avanzate, come quelle dell'Italia centro-settentrionale. The essay focuses on Sicily’s contribution to …
Ladoix-Serrigny (Côte-d’Or). Chapelle Notre-Dame du Chemin [notice archéologique]
2019
La chapelle Notre-Dame du Chemin est un site emblématique de la côte viticole, à environ 5 km au NE de Beaune, sur le territoire de la commune de Ladoix-Serrigny en Côte-d’Or. Le diagnostic archéologique réalisé au pied de l’actuel édifice s’est déroulé du 5 au 9 mars 2018. En dépit d’une emprise limitée au fuseau d’un futur réseau de drainage, l’opération a permis de documenter l’évolution de l’environnement de la chapelle depuis la fin du premier Moyen Âge jusqu’à nos jours. La sépulture d’un individu adulte, aménagée de dalles de calcaire, datée par radiocarbone des XIe-XIIe s., constitue le témoignage le plus ancien de l’occupation humaine du site [...]

Exceptional women: Female merchants and working women in Italy in the early modern period
2018
The chapter examines the juridical construction of working woman in Italian cities during the medieval to modern period. In fact, the world of work and production had been generally thought by medieval and early modern jurists to be a sphere best left to self-regulation by the interested parties, an autonomous field, if not quite extraneous to the grand systems of Roman and canon law. But many regulatory and legal sources demonstrate the relevance of merchant and working women in the economic system. This sources concern three items, regarding female work and family roles: female membership and activities in the Italian guilds; women’s property and capability to act; the relationship betwee…
Pyhäpäivien vietto varhaismodernin ajan Savossa (vuoteen 1710)
2016
In this dissertation, I study the observance of holy days among the peasantry in the early modern province of Savo, located on the eastern periphery of the Swedish kingdom (today Eastern Finland). I examine the practices, norms and meanings related to the observance of holy days both within and outside the Church, and analyse the changes and continuities in the post-reformation period. As the main sources of the study, I use district court records and visitation records mainly from the period 1639–1712. I analyse the cases with a micro-historical perspective and an anthropological approach. The lived religion of the peasantry was constituted especially through practices that were connected …
