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?. Wysmu?ek 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?. Readership: Urban historians of the late medieval period interested in the socio-cultural development of law, and anyone interested in medieval documentary history. 410 0$aLater medieval Europe. 606 $aGeneral & world history$2bicssc 610 $aGeneral and world history 615 7$aGeneral & world history 676 $a346.43805/40943862 700 $aWysmu?ek$b Jakub$01074810 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910490028103321 996 $aHistory of wills, testators and their families in late Medieval Krakow$92581996 997 $aUNINA
