It focuses on prostitutes and their movement to and from Mediterranean port cities and queries how they used the institutions of the law courts and the notariat to integrate themselves into the everyday workings of the city. The article concludes with a call to rethink whose movement counts in the medieval Mediterranean when scholars think of the region as a whole.38 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
