Administrative knowledge and material practices in the archive
Over the course of the fifteenth century, the Kingdom of Sicily faced significant institutional and administrative changes, originating from the need, on the part of the Aragonese sovereigns, to rule the island from afar. These developments resulted not only in the establishment of a new financial o...

Composante de la réalité étendue et diverse que constituait la Couronne d’Aragon, l’administration sicilienne du XVe siècle connut une période de changements importants pour faciliter le gouvernement à distance. Ce changement inclut non seulement l’établissement d’un nouvel office (le conservator regii patrimonii), mais aussi le développement de nouvelles pratiques de production et d’enregistrement des documents, qui se reflètent dans les structures des reliures d’archives et dans d’autres traits matériels encore visibles de nos jours. Par l’analyse d’éléments matériels comme la mise en page des documents, les systèmes temporaires de fascicules et la structure des volumes reliés, cet article étudie la relation entre texte et paratexte dans la Sicile du bas Moyen Âge et l’intérêt témoigné de façon continue par les autorités pour la forme matérielle du document. L’étude du cas sicilien démontre que ces aspects apparemment simplement matériels jouèrent en fait un rôle crucial dans la domination transméditerranéenne exercée par la Couronne d’Aragon, car ils permettaient aux monarques et à leur personnel bureaucratique de classifier et d’organiser une quantité croissante d’information selon leurs besoins gouvernementaux. |

Over the course of the fifteenth century, the Kingdom of Sicily faced significant institutional and administrative changes, originating from the need, on the part of the Aragonese sovereigns, to rule the island from afar. These developments resulted not only in the establishment of a new financial office (the conservator regii patrimonii), but also in innovations in the methods used for producing and recording documents, which in turn are reflected in the structures of the archival bindings and other material features that survive to this day. Through the analysis of material elements from the mise en page of the documents to their temporary filing systems and binding structures, this article focuses on the relationship between text and paratext in late-medieval Sicily, and casts light upon the carefully-crafted material forms of the document throughout its lifespan. In short, the Sicilian case study demonstrates how apparently mere material aspects played a crucial role for the government of a trans-Mediterranean monarchy such as the Crown of Aragon, as they allowed its kings – and their bureaucratic staff – to classify, organize, and use a growing amount of information in a way that fulfilled their administrative needs.. |
