Two abbeys in the Florentine hinterland, originally independent: the Badia of Settimo and the Badia of Buonsollazzo. The first, founded at the beginning of the 11th century and at the centre of comital powers, religious movements, and political tensions; the other, founded in the second half of the same century and, undeniably, more marginal. But the trajectory of their Benedictine period, ending with the Cistercian reform, would ultimately determine, in 1320, dependence of the latter on the former. Their archives would share a similar fate when they would be irreversibly linked and eventually merged in the 17th century. We are now issuing in a critical edition all of the surviving pre-1200 documents of the ancient archives of the Badia of Settimo and the Badia of Buonsollazzo. Notarial acts, privilegia and litterae by emperors, popes, and bishops: documents of the legal practices of the High Middle Ages. Addressed to the two monasteries and involving their histories, these papers are also sources - among others - on the history of a territory in the High Middle Ages, preserved in ecclesiastical archiva that transmit, unique - and never impartial -, the documentation of this period.
