"This book studies family life and gender broadly within Italy, not just one region or city, from the fourteenth through the seventeenth centuries. Paternal control of the household was paramount in Italian life at this time, with control of property and even marital choices and career paths laid out for children and carried out from beyond the grave by means of written testaments. However, the reality was always more complex than a simple reading of local laws and legal doctrines would seem to permit, especially when there were no sons to step forward as heirs. Family disputes provided an opening for legal ambiguities to redirect property and endow women with property and means of control. This book uses the decisions of lawyers and judges to examine family dynamics through the lens of law and legal disputes"--
Les historiens ont traité l'exclusion au droit de succession des femmes dotées dans leurs familles natales comme une constante ambiguë du système de transmission agnatique des biens pendant la Renaissance. L'analyse de statuts et de cinq cas florentins révèle cependant que le sens et l'opération de l'héritage des femmes et par les femmes n'étaient pas toujours précis et pouvaient changer. La succession de biens par les femmes était assez fréquente pour provoquer des problèmes gênants concernant les droits des agnats mâles à leur exclusion. L'interprétation juridique de ces problémes, quoique peu uniforme, a contribué à protéger les droits des femmes grâce à une application stricte des statuts et à des études étendues du droit civil.
