- About this book
- Author
Charity dowries - a lesser known form of almsgiving widely practised in past centuries - have been a major tool used by Church and princes to encourage matrimony and to give the modern family a more solid structure. This volume describes the methods of dowry distribution and their evolution in time, on the basis of examination of the confraternities’ archives; it analyses the work of scholars who propounded this practice and lists 14th-17th century Florentine synodal rubrics on the subject of matrimony.
