About the book
Il volume raccoglie gli atti di un convegno patavino svoltosi nel 2021 nell’ambito del progetto di ricerca For.Ma. - The Forgotten Manuscripts. Il progetto, avviato dall’Università di Padova, aveva tra i suoi obiettivi quello di riportare al centro dell’attenzione due codici del XII secolo che custodiscono alcune parti del Codice e del Digesto di Giustiniano.
Si tratta di materiali di fondamentale importanza, non solo per lo studio del diritto del nostro passato, ma anche per la ricostruzione della storia della città di Padova e della sua Università, in quanto testimoni diretti e tangibili dell’attività di docenti e discepoli nei primi tempi dello Studium generale. I contributi qui raccolti li esaminano in una pluralità di prospettive differenti, a seconda delle competenze e delle sensibilità dei diversi autori, o percorrono sentieri di indagine che da quei codici si irradiano, rivelando così la ricchezza di informazioni e di spunti che essi sono tuttora in grado di offrire.

REMINDER JOB OFFER: 6 research grants within the framework of the ERC-Consolidator Grant MICOLL - deadline December 17th, 2021 - Università degli Studi di Padova, Italy.



6 open positions are available at the University of Padua, Italy (36 months) funded within the framework of my ERC Consolidator Grant "Migrating Commercial Law and Language. Rethinking Lex Mercatoria (11th-17th Cent.)" - MICOLL (awarded to Prof. Stefania Gialdroni). The deadline is December 17th 2021. 

You can find all the details on the website of the project: https://shiny.dei.unipd.it/micoll-erc/news.html and on the website of the University of Padua. The 6 positions are divided into 3 calls available in Italian and English (see here).

The calls are addressed to PhD graduates, or graduates with a Master’s degree in legal, historical, economic, archival, paleographic, diplomatic and linguistic disciplines, with a suitable and documented academic and professional experience in an area related to the aforementioned research fields. The position, which is called “assegno di ricerca”, is similar to a “post-doc” position even though a PhD is not necessary but only recommended in order to apply. The contracts will start on the 1st of March 2022 and will last 36 months.

They are all very interdisciplinary as the focus of the project relies in the relationship between legal and economic history and historical linguistics. The overall aim is, in fact, to analyze the development of commercial law between the 11th and 17th centuries, in the geographical area comprising Northern Italy and present-day Germany, through the tools of historical linguistics. The borrowing and transfer of legal terms will be carried out through a comprehensive and systematic survey of medieval and early modern legal sources, in particular commercial letters, contracts and statutes, both published and unpublished. The analysis of technical-legal words used in commercial transactions will allow to verify the impact of merchants’ migrations on the development of law as well as on social and economic history. The archival research will focus in the first instance on the following archives: Archivio di Stato di Venezia (Venice), Archivio di Stato di Genova (Genoa), Stadtarchiv Nürnberg (Nuremberg) and Archiv der Hansestadt Lübeck. The project foresees the creation of a "Glossary of Medieval Commercial Law Terms" and of interactive digital maps of the routes that connected Venice with Northern Europe and the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The first step of the evaluation will take into account the qualifications, the academic and professional career and the publications of the candidate. Those who will pass the first step of the evaluation will have access to the interview. The interviews will take place on January 24, 25 and 26, 2022 (at the University of Padua or via Zoom).
