In late medieval Marseille, large segments of society showed up in
court - fishmongers, sailors, widows, maids, petty lenders, Jews,
and Christians - where they argued, cursed, charged, and
counter-charged. In the process, they pushed aside Roman and
municipal laws to construct their own vernacular code of morality.
Witnesses, Neighbors, and Community in Late Medieval Marseille asks
how, in a time of crisis, medieval citizens developed an
independent sense of ethics based on the needs of their families,
neighbors, and clients. Witness testimony from Marseille's court
records forms the documentary heart of this book, offering a window
onto the dynamics of the city's neighborhoods. Using the role of
witness, humble people, often women, became the arbiters of their
communities.
