- Double-weighted statement
- This 220,000-word monograph has taken over fifteen years to research. It draws on a very substantial body of primary evidence in Latin – archival (State Archive, Milan, over 300 private charters), printed (pp. 527-534) and archaeological – and compares this for the first time. It involved wide secondary reading in English, Italian, French and German that cut across different research approaches. It also drew on Italian methodology, never before applied to the analysis of early medieval charters, to support and develop a micro-historical analysis. It's the only monograph on this subject in English (the only Italian book appeared in 1953).
