Summary

Long rolled document containing copies of proceedings concerning a lawsuit brought by Maria Riccomanni, widow of Jacopo (also referred to as Lapo) Riccomanni, against Jacopo's heirs, executors, and brother, Simone Riccomanni, to recover her dowry. She was represented by lawyer Bardo di Berto da Barberino. Held in Florence between 1323 and 1324, the complex trial involved numerous defendants, various witnesses for both parties (including relatives, friends, and expert witnesses), and multiple hearings before different judges. The case ended with a verdict in favor of Maria Riccomanni, who was returned the entire amount of her dowry, as well as interest accrued during the two-year litigation. Notarized by Marcello di Niccolò da Barberino in 1324. Document cut and torn, with some loss of text. Filed with the document is later summary and commentary written in Italian on paper.
