Abstract: The volume is the result of a research project directed by Francesco Senatore with the constant support of the other two editors. The intention was to contribute to the understanding of judicial records in the Kingdom of Naples between the 15th and 16th centuries, with regard to central and local courts, procedures, and the importance of judicial sources for insight into conflicts and powers in southern Italian societies. The focus is on praxis rather than theory, although the latter is by no means lacking and is the subject of some of the contributions. On the one hand, the history of some courts of justice is reconstructed thanks to a large corpus of sources of various kinds and a solid knowledge of the “constitution” of the Kingdom. On the other hand, the actual working of the courts is studied through a detailed analysis of some case studies (a trial, a book), reconstructing the lists of employees, an operation that the legislative and doctrinal sources do not allow, or do not always allow.
