Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary This book examines the administration of justice in the small northern Italian town of Reggio Emilia at the end of the fourteenth century. Through an examination of material from the judicial archives from the period 1371-1409, this study investigates the development of public justice, inquisition procedure, and dispute resolution in late medieval Reggio Emilia, also incorporating comparative material, especially archival material from Bologna at the end of the fourteenth century. This study seeks to add to the discussion on dispute resolution and court processes in late medieval Europe, moving the discussion outside the major urban centers of late medieval Italy to the periphery of urban life.
Contents Power, Jurisdiction, and criminal investigation -- The formation of a criminal inquisition -- Fama, notoriety, and the due process of law -- Proofs, defenses, ad the determination of guilt or innocence -- Resolutions : conviction, absolution, and mitigation.
