Family, Work, and Household presents the social and occupational
life of a late medieval Iberian town in rich, unprecedented detail.
The book combines a diachronic study of two regionally prominent
families-one knightly and one mercantile-with a detailed
cross-sectional urban study of household and occupation. The town
in question is the market town and administrative centre of Manresa
in Catalonia, whose exceptional archives make such a study
possible. For the diachronic studies, Fynn-Paul relied upon the
fact that Manresan archives preserve scores of individual family
notarial registers, and the cross-sectional study was made possible
by the Liber Manifesti of 1408, a cadastral survey which details
the property holdings of individual householders to an unusually
thorough degree. In these pages, the economic and social strategies
of many individuals, including both knights and burghers, come to
light over the course of several generations. The Black Death and
its aftermath play a prominent role in changing the outlook of many
social actors. Other chapters detail the socioeconomic topography
of the town, and examine occupational hierarchies, for such groups
as rentiers, merchants, leatherworkers, cloth workers, women
householders, and the poor.
