Abbreviations
The references to published sources, especially city statutes or liturgical texts, would
require confusing and cumbersome short citations if these followed standard forms. So I
have used short descriptive tags rather than the actual titles found in the printed editions.
For example, I use ‘‘Vicenza Stat.’’ for the collection published asStatuti del comune di
Vicenzamcclxivand ‘‘Bologna Stat.i’’ for the collectionStatuti di Bologna dell’anno 1245
all’anno 1267 .When the source has book, chapter, and verse or other division numbering,
this is given before the page reference [e.g., 1. 1. 1 , pp. 1 – 11 ]. When the date of a statute
or document can be determined, I include it in parentheses for the reader’s convenience,
as I also do for chronicle sources. At the first citation of a manuscript source, I similarly
give the approximate dates of the codex and of the original copied, if relevant. This
dating is occasionally silently corrected when library catalogue dates are clearly wrong.
