Résumé

This article can be found on DALME : Dan Smail, and Claire Allen. 2025. “Inventory A of Johannes de Genovardis.” In The Documentary Archaeology of Late Medieval Europe, edited by Daniel Lord Smail, Gabriel H. Pizzorno, and Laura Morreale. Accessed September 11. https://purl.dalme.org/458df161-d91c-4663-98f7-e11cc16ea648/. This inventory was made on the 11th of August, 1418, after the death of Johannes de Genovardis. The head of the household, the nobleman Johannes de Genovardis, lord of Saint-Auban and Chénerilles, was a professor of law and a judge of the county of Provence. The inventory of his goods found in his house in Aix-en-Provence, located in the street of Saint Magdalena, was compiled upon the request of Johannes's widow, Ysabella, for the sake of their two daughters Johannona and Guillermona. The house contains many rooms, richly furnished, and the inventory allows us to get a grasp of everyday life and activities of this family. Several dice games (tabularium ad ludendum ad aleas) were included. Johannes de Genovardis owned a large number of books as well as legal instruments pertaining to his family. Those writings were stored in chests and trunks: one particular trunk has two drawers, the lower one is used to store writings, and the top one to hold books. The inventory also mentions a former slave working for the family, a certain Catherina, who is said to have owned certain objects in the house. This inventory is described in Jean Fabre and Léon Martin's book Vivre au pays d'Aix aux temps de la reine Jeanne et du roi René (1984).
