The essay reconstructs the relations between Florence's most important urban monastery and its peasants in the central decades of the 15th century. The research is based on the perusal of fiscal, administrative and accounting sources: in particular, real estate inventories and double-entry ledgers kept by the Florentine monastery's accountants. From these apparently arid sources emerge unsuspected pictures of peasant life, as well as relations between monks and land workers determined as much by economic logic as by ethical and religious aspects.
l saggio ricostruisce i rapporti tra il più importante monastero urbano di Firenze e i suoi contadini nei decenni centrali del XV secolo. La ricerca si basa sullo spoglio di fonti fiscali, amministrative e contabili: in particolare, inventari immobiliari e registri a doppia entrata tenuti dai contabili del monastero fiorentino. Da queste fonti, apparentemente aride, emergono quadri insospettabili di vita contadina, nonché relazioni tra monaci e lavoratori della terra determinate tanto da logiche economiche quanto da aspetti etici e religiosi.

Abstract
The essay reconstructs the relations between Florence's most important urban monastery and its peasants in the central decades of the 15th century. The research is based on the perusal of fiscal, administrative and accounting sources: in particular, real estate inventories and double-entry ledgers kept by the Florentine monastery's accountants. From these apparently arid sources emerge unsuspected pictures of peasant life, as well as relations between monks and land workers determined as much by economic logic as by ethical and religious aspects.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
