The projects IUS ILLUMINATUM and IVS Commune online  

Abstract of the Lecture of Maria Alessandra Bilotta and Maria Alessandra Panzanelli Fratoni: The IUS ILLUMINATUM international research team, based at the Institute of Medieval Studies of the Institute for Medieval Studies (IEM) the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities of Lisbon and coordinated by Maria Alessandra Bilotta researcher at the same University, it aims to study the illustration and decoration of legal manuscripts and legal documents produced in medieval times. Among the scientific aims of the team, made up of specialists in the illustration of medieval legal manuscripts from different parts of Europe, there is also that of studying the different iconographies that accompany the legal texts and also that of structuring a uniform system description of such illustrations and decorations, making use of the expertise of the specialists involved. By virtue of these skills and aims, the IUS ILLUMINATUM research team was invited to collaborate with the IVS commune online project, coordinated by Maria Alessandra Panzanelli Fratoni. In fact, the transmission of legal texts from late Middle Ages to Early Modern Age (14th-17th century) is the focus this latter research project funded by the Ministry of Research and University within a program (Programma Giovani ricercatori “Rita Levi Montalcini”) that the speaker is conducting in the Department of Historical Studies of the University of Turin. A database named “IVS Commune online” is being developed which is based on the structure and partially of data already recorded in the TEXT-inc database. IVS Commune online is meant to expand the research and include analytical descriptions of legal texts from both manuscripts and printed editions (1350-1650). In this frame, to illustrations and decoration patterns major attention is paid, being considered as a part of the texts. Therefore the database includes a special field also for linking to the dedicated resources, to start with the 15cIllustration db. Most of all, a collaboration has been started with Maria Alessandra Bilotta and “IUS ILLUMINATUM” project, which aims to produce some Guidelines for a coordinated system of description of illustration and decoration patterns in the field of Law.

Abstract of the Workshop: In the past few years, an increasing effort has been put into developing new systems for gathering, sharing and describing images with the help of digital technologies. Projects have been taking advantage of the new developments for creating databases and digital tools to gather and make searchable Medieval and Early-Modern images of different kinds (illuminations, paintings, printed illustrations, stamps, etc.)
This one-day workshop will bring together people currently involved in such projects, to discuss the objectives and the technical features of the different platforms, data gathering strategies, methodologies adopted for the iconographic and figurative description and future developments, with
a specific focus on the main challenges encountered by each project, possible links, and interoperability.
The main aim of the workshop is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and the creation of new operating connections within this community of practice, while offering an overview of the state of the art as far as the treatment of digital images as objects of research are concerned.

22.09.2021 | Zoom session

This paper takes as a starting point the controversial notion of “stone charter” which combines within a single syntagma a diplomatic category and a hard and durable material. It refers to a great variety of medieval inscriptions presenting similarities with the medieval diplomatic documentation of charters and diplomas. It also challenges the ability of epigraphic practices to ground, affirm and transmit the law, and thus raises many questions about medieval literacy. The act of communication consisting in displaying a public inscription might have been seen as a legal action by nature but how to approach such a gesture of public writing in the diplomatic scenario? Does the effect produced by the epigraphic object acquire, in its means (localization, form, lettering) a symbolic, pragmatic, or even performative reality? If so, what are the practical conditions of moving from a diplomatic written act to the exhibition of its contents? This paper aims at addressing some of these historical issues to understand the formal and functional links between medieval law as kept in manuscripts, used in charters, and displayed in public throughout epigraphic documents. By analyzing some stone charters produced in the South of France during the 12th and 13th centuries, this paper would like to focus on the theoretical aspects of the potential “legal” agency of medieval inscriptions, and to consider the anthropological basis of the need and effect of the publication of the law during the Middle Ages.
