Legal Plunder
Smail is highly regarded for his detailed and evocative work on medieval Marseilles. Legal Plunder, which focuses primarily on how the local courts in Lucca seized the goods of debtors, demonstrates what happens when a historian changes his archives. In the shift, Smail found a rich resource in the literally thousands of fourteenth-century Lucchese records of household goods that were taken for non-payment of debts. Having done so, he then return…
Presentism and the Renaissance and Early Modern Historian
Writing in 1941, Benedetto Croce argued, ‘All history is contemporary history’. In doing so, he created an aphorism that offers two dimensions to ‘presentism’.1 It can mean, for example, that we seek present-day concerns in the past, searching in the archives for the earlier versions of our own contemporary lives and interests. But ‘presentism’ can also mean attempts to remove texts from any particular period or place, asking them to represent un…

Sites of Consumption in Early Modern Europe
In 1535, the Venetian patrician Francesco Priuli began a new account book for his household's daily expenditure. Despite his elevated standing, he kept it in his own hand, noting with precision how his money was spent, where, when, and on what. There are a number of things to note about this patrician family's behaviour. One is that a major mercantile city such as Venice already offered a wide range of shopping spaces and opportunities in the ear…
Art on the edge
This paper argues that items designed for the bodily extremities such as hair-coverings, hats, fans and other accessories were valued for the ease with which they could be changed and adapted to express a range of different meanings: political, social and individual. They also provided an important point of contact between the world of commerce, the court elites and the wider community of men and women who purchased and used these goods. In study…
Wigs and Ear Wax
What do upholsterers have in common with surgeons? Why are goldsmiths affiliated to barbers? At first sight, these questions might suggest something to do with technology. The first pair cut and sew; the latter heat elements for their work and use cutting implements. But the answer, as Sandra Cavallo demonstrates in her remarkable study of barber-surgeons in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Turin, lies not in what these artisans do, but in who t…
Lotteries in Early Modern Italy
On 10 April 1522, the Venetian senator and diarist Marin Sanudo noted that two major prizes had just been drawn in the city's newly established lottery. One, a jewel worth 900 ducats, was won by a nun, Soranza Soranzo, whose winning ticket bore the rhyme ‘bon dì, bon anno, questa ventura non sia invano’ — ‘good day, good year, let this chance be not in vain’. The other, an even larger gem valued at 2,500 ducats, went to a consortium of investors …

Shopping in the Renaissance
Shopping was as important in the Renaissance as it is today. This fascinating and original book breaks new ground in the area of Renaissance material culture, focusing on the marketplace and such related topics as middle-class to courtly consumption, the provision of foodstuffs, and the acquisition of antiquities and holy relics. The book investigates how men and women of different social classes went to the streets, squares, and shops to buy goo…

The art of expenditure
The paper draws on four surviving account books to examine the way a female court functioned during the first quarter of the fifteenth century. The documents, which have never received detailed attention, record Paola Malatesta Gonzaga's income and expenditure over an almost twenty‐year period, revealing her close attention to her land, estates, and the welfare of her famiglia. They also provide considerable new information for Paola's important,…
