It presents the origins of testamentary acts in the Kingdom of Poland and its centre, Krakow, and their subsequent transformation from so called 'canonical wills' to 'communal wills'. Wysmulek discusses the socio-cultural role of wills and sets them in their contemporary legal, social, and economic context. In doing so, he uncovers their influence on property ownership and family relations in the city, as well as on the religious practices of the burghers. Ultimately, this work seeks to change the perception of wills by treating the testamentary act itself as an important agent of historical social change - a 'tool of power'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jakub Wysmulek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004448160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004448162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.10w x 0.94d","brand":"Jakub Wysmulek","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47637344682239,"sku":"9789004448162","price":163.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54451541-690f-45bc-a56b-b74b5417d838.jpg?v=1765115585","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-of-wills-testators-and-jakub-wysmulek-9789004448162","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
