Micoll is looking for TWO new postdocs. The ideal candidate is a legal historian or a historian who knows about legal or economic history who can collaborate with Micoll's team to the realisation of the two main outputs of the project: the 'Glossary of Medieval and Early Modern Commercial Law’ and the digital interactive maps of the roads travelled by merchants between northern Italy and northern German between the 11th and 17th centuries. Our sources are in Latin, Italian and German but the outputs are in English. It is therefore necessary to know at least two of these languages.

Bandi di ricerca 2024 UniPD

The so-called Third Mission of the universities adds to the two traditional purposes of academic institutions: research and teaching. The priorities are: 1. Targeted use and transfer of academic knowledge to help resolve current societal and economical challenges; 2. Transfer and utilisation of technologies and innovations through cooperation with public and private enterprises.
Well, our PI's participation to these events, organized by the Museo della Navigazione fluviale di Battaglia Terme, will be a first step for MICOLL in this direction.
We are not yet sure whether the traditional historical row will take place due to the adverse weather conditions that have caused so much damage in the Veneto region over the last few days, but we remain hopeful for the time being. Fingers crossed! 🤞🤞🤞

Micoll's team next to Mezzavia, a village so called because it is located exactly halfway between Rome and Vienna 🤩

Thanks to the director of the Museum of river navigation, Maurizio Ulliana, today we had the opportunity to navigate the canals connecting Padua with Battaglia Terme, a very important junction for the transport of goods, especially to Chioggia, since the end of the 12th century, when the Battaglia canal was built. We were accompanied on this trip on a 't**a' (a flat-bottomed boat typical of the Venetian lagoon) called "Angelina" by Captain Loris, an authentic 'barcaro', and by the boat's owner, Mario, who told us so many anecdotes that it would take several more posts to tell them all...

Heidelberg, we are coming!
On the 4th of April 2024 Stefania Gialdroni and Chiara Lo Giudice (project IUSTITIAM) will present a paper entitled “Places, Space, and Iconographies of Commercial Justice in the Hanseatic Cities” within the framework of the interdisciplinary conference “Legal Iconography and Legal Language” (Rechtsikonographie und Rechtssprache), which will take place in Heidelberg from 4 to 6 April 2024. The joint event of the Legal Iconography Working Group (Arbeitskreises Rechtsikonographie) and the Heidelberg Legal History Society (Heidelberger Rechtshistorische Gesellschaft) will focus on topics of legal iconography from the Middle Ages to modern times and is dedicated to the memory of Clausdieter Schott (1936-2023).

The conference, organized by prof. Andreas Deutsch, is intended as a network meeting for all those interested in legal iconography. It serves as a forum for professional exchange in a relaxed atmosphere.
