ABOUT BOOK

This volume stems from a conference organised in November 2018 at the ~University of Bucharest in the frame of the European Research Council ~project CASTELLANY ACCOUNTS, “Record-keeping, fiscal reform, and ~the rise of institutional accountability in late-medieval Savoy: A source-oriented ~approach”. Both the conference and the volume have received funding ~from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon ~2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 638436). ~The volume traces the momentous transformation of institutions and administration under the impact of accounting records and procedures, c. 1250-1500. The focus on the materiality and organising logic of a range of accounts is complemented by close attention to the socio-political contexts in which they functioned and the agency of central and local officials.
