Witnesses, Neighbors, and Community in Late Medieval Marseille (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780230391994)

This book asks how, in a time of crisis, medieval citizens developed an independent sense of ethics. Witness testimonies from Marseille's court records offer a small window into the neighborhoods of Marseille and reveal how humble people, often women, used the role of witness to become the arbiters of their communities.
