Merchantbankers and account books in late medieval Tuscany: the editions of business registers from the 1960's to today

In the European comparison Tuscany stands out by having the most important business archives (merchant, banking and manufacturing fi rms) for economic history of the later Middle Ages. The combined archives of Florence and Prato alone have around 2,500 account books, a fi gure greatly exceeding those available in the rest of Italy and Europe put together. The present paper considers the corporate account books published in the last 50 years, with reference, moreover, to the fi rst half of the XXth century. The aim is to emphasize the role played by accounting sources written by the merchants of Tuscan towns in latemedieval economic history.Nel panorama europeo la Toscana si segnala per il fatto di ospitare i più importanti archivi di società mercantili, bancarie e manifatturiere per la storia economica dei secoli XIII-XV. Soltanto tra Firenze e Prato si conservano circa 2.500 libri di conto, una cifra che eccede di gran lunga le disponibilità di tutto il resto dell'Italia e dell'Europa messe insieme. Il presente saggio fa il punto sulle edizioni di registri contabili aziendali pubblicati nell'ultimo mezzo secolo, con accenni anche ai decenni precedenti, in modo da mettere in risalto il ruolo ricoperto nella storia economica tardo-medievale dalle fonti contabili prodotte dai mercanti delle città toscane

Il giardino dei Finzi-Contini: le cuciture del tessuto narrativo

The underlying narrative techniques of the novel Il giardino dei Finzi Contini are revealed through close analysis of the text. The wide variety of these techniques include different forms of dilation, especially that of temporal digression. Taken together, they reflect the disturbances in the world and in historical time represented in the novel. The study of all these techniques is carried out in the light of other works by Bassani and the considerable volume of critical essays on him that have been published in recent years
