Summary

Collection of statutes concerning the community of Mirabella in the Kingdom of Naples. The earliest section (f. 1r-28r) is dated 1551. This includes the "gravamina" of the people of Mirabella against Fabritio Giundatio, baron of Mirabella (1548-1551) and other legal documents. There are many later sections and additions, the latest of which appear to date to 1731 (f. 53v, 55v). The collection is preceded by an index (f. ii recto-iii verso) and followed by subscriptions of officials (f. 63r-65r).
