La schiavitù nella Chio dei Genovesi a metà del secolo XV (dagli atti notarili redatti nell’isola nel 1449–1450)
Slaves in Genoese Chios in the 15th century (from acts drawn up over there in 1449–1450)

Summary/Abstract: In the 15th century the Isle of Chios – caput et sedes praecipua omnium Ianuensium in terris transmarinis – was one of the main slave market, not only for the Genoeses. This paper is based on about 650 acts, mostly unpublished, drawn up by the Genoeses notaries Tommaso di Recco and Bernardo de Ferrariis just in Chios in 1449–1450. Thanks to these sources, the A. writes about the presence of slaves in that island, even if as to a short time. She gives information on the contracts related to them, their birth-place, sex, age, price, way of use, religious faith and so on.
