Planning for Death: Wills and Death-Related Property Arrangements in Europe, 1200-1600 de Mia Korpiola

Planning for Death: Wills and Death-Related Property Arrangements in Europe, 1200-1600: Medieval Law and Its Practice, cartea 23

Mia Korpiola, Anu Lahtinen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mai 2018
The volume Planning for Death: Wills and Death-Related Property Arrangements in Europe, 1200-1600 analyses death-related property transfers in several European regions (England, Poland, Italy, South Tirol, and Sweden).
Laws and customary practice provided a legal framework for all post-mortem property devolution. However, personal preference and varied succession strategies meant that individuals could plan for death by various legal means. These individual legal acts could include matrimonial property arrangements (marriage contracts, morning gifts) and legal means of altering heirship by subtracting or adding heirs. Wills and testamentary practice are given special attention, while the volume also discusses the timing of the legal acts, suggesting that while some people made careful and timely arrangements, others only reacted to sudden events.
Contributors are Christian Hagen, R.H. Helmholz, Mia Korpiola, Anu Lahtinen, Marko Lamberg, Margareth Lanzinger, Janine Maegraith, Federica Masè, Anthony Musson, Tuula Rantala, Elsa Trolle Önnerfors, and Jakub Wysmułek.

Recenzii

"This volume recommends itself with its careful consideration of the ways law and practice interacted, as well as its attention to how gender influenced how law could be deployed to carry out final wishes. It is also valuable in bringing the legal system and practice of early modern Scandinavia to the fore of legal studies, which have often focused more on studies of England and France, broadening our understanding of early modern legal histories". Janine Lanza, in Renaissance Quarterly, Renaissance Quarterly, 73 (1), pp. 269-270.
