Women and Rural Property in Medieval Bologna
Women’s roles in medieval economies are often difficult to trace, as their activities were inconsistently recorded in historical sources. While scholars have long acknowledged the likelihood of female participation, concrete evidence remains limited and fragmented. This article presents a unique case study of women landowners in late thirteenth-century Bologna, focusing on rural property through the lens of tax returns (known as estimi ), which r…
Digital Humanities for the Heritage of Political Ideas in Medieval Bologna
This paper outlines a methodology for creating an educational and informative communication system for non-specialised audiences in order to preserve and pass on the heritage of ideas and practices adopted in the medieval political and administrative sphere. Through the combined use of digital technologies (such as GISs, 3D modelling and virtual tours), historical sources can potentially reveal how political and administrative aspects affected di…
Multi-Feature Uncertainty Analysis for Urban-Scale Hypothetical 3D Reconstructions
For the hypothetical reconstruction of architectural heritage, there are still no scientific standards of reference concerning their sharing and documentation. Recent international initiatives established the basis to address this problem; however, still, much work needs to be done in order to systematise good practices for the process of reconstruction and its dissemination. This contribution aims to take a step forward in the analysis and visua…
Women in the medieval university
This article analyses the literary sources and accounts of Novella d’Andrea, the daughter of Giovanni d’Andrea, an eminent professor at the Bolognese Studium. The study examines the unprecedented case of a woman teaching law at the university in the first half of the fourteenth century, casting light on the cultural and family environment in which she grew up. The sources that conserve her memory are analysed, in particular the account provided b…
The role of women in the shaping of civic identity in Edwardian Leicester

The bequest, by Edith Gittins (1845–1910), is contextualized within the nineteenth-century perspectives on the past that identified the roots of the English people in the Anglo-Saxon period. The article explores the cultural, social and gender implications of Gittins’ intentions behind the…
