Laws, council minutes, records of the commune's revenue and expenditure, wills and other charters from the thirteenth century are among the plentiful material which makes up the picture of the city republic's institutions and those who ran them. The main themes are the political institutions of the city, and the involvement of the citizens in them. The religion of the Sienese is also investigated. This is a portrait of a special, but not untypical, society which was engaged in an experiment in oligarchic self-government. Although the milieu was urban, Siena's bankers and tradesmen, craftsmen and those involved in transport and agricultural labour, were in many cases landowners: the city was dependent on and greatly involved with its rural environment. The precocity of the commune's governmental methods and the wealth of information that has survived mean that the medieval life of this famous and beautiful Tuscan city can be depicted in full and convincing detail. 517 3 $aSiena & the Sienese in the Thirteenth Century 607 $aSiena (Italy)$xHistory 607 $aSiena (Italy)$xSocial life and customs$xSources 607 $aSiena (Italy)$xSocial life and customs 607 $aSiena (Italy)$xHistory$xSources 676 $a945/.58 700 $aWaley$b Daniel Philip$0925240 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247920403316 996 $aSiena and the Sienese in the thirteenth century$92409935 997 $aUNISA
