Per lo studio delle circolazioni artistiche e culturali nella Penisola iberica nel Medioevo

Abstract

The systematic study of illuminated juridical manuscripts held in the libraries of Portugal, conducted in the context of a post-doctoral research project funded by the Portuguese Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), was the occasion for new analyses and an in-depth study of an interesting set of illuminated juridical fragments in the collection of the Biblioteca Pública of Évora. Among these disiecta membra codi- cum, a fragment belonging to the group called Pergaminhos fragmentados and marked “doc. 97 Pasta 1” – the subject of this paper–provides some useful considerations to help clarify the framework of cultural ties that linked Portugal to the Italian Peninsula in the Middle Ages, and additionally shed light on the dynamics and methods of artistic, cultural and juridical exchange that linked these two regions at this time.
