"The Arte dei rigattieri (merchants of second-hand goods in Florence) have never been the subject of a systematic study, even in scholarship devoted to the history of trades. Underpinned by a large collection of archival material, this book analyzes the social life and economic activity of rigattieri in fifteenth-century Florence. It offers invaluable information on issues such as the relationship between socio-political affiliations and economic interest as well as the structures of consumption and the spending power of different social groups. Furthermore, through the lens of the Arte dei Rigattieri, this work examines the connection between the development of the political bureaucracy, the establishment of Medicean power, and contemporaneous processes of identity construction and social mobility"--

This volume sets out to explore the world of domestic devotions and is premised on the assumption that the home was a central space of religious practice and experience throughout the early modern world. The contributions to this book, which deal with themes dating from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, tell of the intimate relationship between humans and the sacred within the walls of the home. The volume demonstrates that the home cannot be studied in isolation: the seventeen essays, that encompass religious history, the histories of art and architecture, material culture, literary history, and social and cultural history, instead point individually and collectively to the porosity of the home and its connectedness with other institutions and broader communities.

Domestic Devotions in Early Modern Italy' illuminates the vibrancy of spiritual beliefs and practices which profoundly shaped family life in this era. Scholarship on Catholicism has tended to focus on institutions, but the home was the site of religious instruction and reading, prayer and meditation, communal worship, multi-sensory devotions, contemplation of religious images and the performance of rituals, as well as extraordinary events such as miracles. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this volume affirms the central place of the household to spiritual life and reveals the myriad ways in which devotion met domestic needs. The seventeen essays encompass religious history, the histories of art and architecture, material culture, musicology, literary history, and social and cultural history.

Cet ouvrage propose une réflexion renouvelée autour du thème de la pauvreté au Moyen Âge en Europe méditerranéenne (ixe-xve siècle) afin de saisir les phénomènes économiques et sociaux la caractérisant. Les travaux, ici réunis, de médiévistes français, espagnols et italiens, visent à dépasser les problématiques étudiées dans les années 1960-1980 par Michel Mollat. Les processus d’appauvrissement, la pauvreté laborieuse, les attitudes institutionnelles et personnelles face à la pauvreté et la culture matérielle qui lui sont associées forment le fond des études proposées. Sont également questionnés les rapports que la pauvreté entretient avec le travail, les liens qu’elle contraint à nouer ou à dénouer et quelles stratégies de survie sont développées par celles et ceux qui, pour une raison ou pour une autre, y sont tombés. This book proposes a new approach to the topic of poverty in the Middle Ages in Mediterranean Europe (9th-15th centuries) in order to understand the economic and social phenomena that characterized it. The studies gathered here, by French, Spanish and Italian medievalists, aim to go beyond the problems studied in the 1960s and 1980s by Michel Mollat. The process of impoverishment, working poverty, institutional and personal attitudes towards poverty and the material culture associated with it form the basis of the proposed studies. Also examined are the relationships that poverty has with work, the bonds that it forces to form or break and the survival strategies developed by those who, for one reason or another, have fallen into it. Este libro propone una reflexión renovada sobre el tema de la pobreza en la Edad Media en la Europa mediterránea (siglos ixe-xve) para comprender los fenómenos económicos y sociales que la caracterizan. Los trabajos aquí reunidos, a cargo de medievalistas franceses, españoles e italianos, pretenden ir más allá de los problemas estudiados en los años sesenta y ochenta por Michel Mollat. Los procesos de…
