А will or testament is a judicial/notarial document which records in
writing the testator’s wishes concerning the distribution of his/her
property upon death. The term “testament” maintains the meaning of
the Latin word testamentum as testatio mentis, an attestation of one’s mind
(will, thought). Medieval wills had the same purpose but, in addition to
the distribution of the testator’s material possessions, they contained an
obligatory section which listed, as a rule in a list, religious, charitable and
other legacies donated to assist the soul on its path to salvation after death.
The importance attached by christians to pro anima legacies stemmed
from their belief that “eternal bliss” could only be achieved if forgivable
sins committed during one’s lifetime were atoned for, and the most
common way to do that were bequests for pious or charitable purposes.
This book examines a sample of the published wills of Kotor citizens
drawn up between 1326 and 1337 – from the earlie...st surviving body of wills
in the commune of Kotor – to analyse the types of legacies for the salvation
of the soul and to discuss the testators’ choice of beneficiaries. Meant to
offer recognition, classification and, finally, analysis of different types of
legacies, this book aims to present as complete a picture as possible of
the motives behind the creation, and the meaning, of the testamentary
programme for the salvation of the soul in Kotor. it is an analysis of
phenomena of late medieval religiosity, but it also seeks to draw attention
to the usefulness of wills as sources in historical research.
