This volume reconstructs the professional biography of a notary from Trento named Antonio di Bartolasio da Borgonuovo between the end of the 14th century and the first decades of the 15th century. The volume retraces his social ascent, with his entrance in Trento's ruling class of the early 15th century and the advantageous marriages of his daughters with members of the powerful Calepini family, as well as his professional ascent, which would lead him to work for the most important institutions of the city (from the Episcopate to the Municipality of Trento) and to be the trusted notary of the Cathedral Chapter for over forty years. His biography and his modus operandi constitute, given the quality and quantity of the documentation he produced, a significant case study to draw a picture of the late medieval notaries in Trento.

A case study in the textual architecture of the venerable legal and ethical tradition at the center of the Islamic experience, Sharīʿa Scripts is a work of historical anthropology focused on Yemen in the early twentieth century. There-while colonial regimes, late Ottoman reformers, and early nationalists wrought decisive changes to the legal status of the sharīʿa, significantly narrowing its sphere of relevance-the Zaydī school of jurisprudence, rooted in highland Yemen for a millennium, still held sway.Brinkley Messick uses the richly varied writings of the Yemeni past to offer a uniquely comprehensive view of the sharīʿa as a localized and lived phenomenon. Sharīʿa Scripts reads a wide spectrum of sources in search of a new historical-anthropological perspective on Islamic textual relations. Messick analyzes the sharīʿa as a local system of texts, distinguishing between theoretical or doctrinal juridical texts (or the "library") and those produced by the sharīʿa courts and notarial writers (termed the "archive"). Attending to textual form, he closely examines representative books of madrasa instruction; formal opinion-giving by muftis and imams; the structure of court judgments; and the drafting of contracts. Messick's intensive readings of texts are supplemented by retrospective ethnography and oral history based on extensive field research. Further, the book ventures a major methodological contribution by confronting anthropology's longstanding reliance upon the observational and the colloquial. Presenting a new understanding of Islamic legal history, Sharīʿa Scripts is a groundbreaking examination of the interpretative range and historical insights offered by the anthropologist as reader.

Les documents qui accompagnent la naissance et le développement du commerce en Occident entre le Moyen Âge et la première époque moderne trouvent leurs racines au moment où débute, à partir de l’an Mil, le lent processus de transition vers une société urbaine rénovée et une économie d’échanges et de marché. Les bases d’un ensemble intégré de trafics sont alors posées : commerce local et international, de grossiste ou de détail, financement d’industries et opérations de change, etc. Au cours des époques médiévale et moderne, marchandises et capital ont été les principaux facteurs de développement d’un ensemble d’affaires trop variées pour pouvoir être gérées autrement qu’à travers un complexe réseau d’échanges et d’associations. Celui-ci était fondé sur des écrits provenant de milieux de production divers et appelait une diversification typologique que l’on retrouvait un peu partout, mais dont la traduction documentaire variait d’une aire géographique à une autre en fonction des produits et du rôle tenu par chacun des acteurs économiques. Lors de son congrès de Rome de 2015, la Commission internationale de diplomatique a choisi de reparcourir cette vaste fresque historique afin de revenir sur quelques notions générales et fondamentales, parmi lesquelles la valeur juridico-commerciale du document commercial en lui-même et sa circulation dans un marché aux frontières sans cesse dilatées.
