| Abstract | Early medieval inventories are commonly found among northern-Iberian archival holdings, both as single-sheets and cartulary copies. However, notwithstanding the extensive use that has sometimes been made of their contents, Spanish and Portuguese historians have largely failed to address the problems that this particular type of record poses, although some recent work is starting to change this picture. This is the second of three sessions that aim to provide a comparative overview of Iberian inventories before 1100, in order to identify and reflect upon the specificities of these records. Papers in this session will engage in less obvious approaches to inventories, such as their contribution to archaeology, the corpus of unknown notitiae referred to in extant charters, and the fiscal role of inventories in the aftermath of the Arab conquest. |
