Abstract

Author analyses cessio, or transfer of obligation from one creditor to another as a transaction pertaining to Roman law and Roman legal tradition, in the documents of Thomasinus de Savere, a late 13th century notary in Dubrovnik (Ragusa). First he analyses cessio in the early notaries’ formularies of the 13th century as the conceptual background of the analysis. After a short historical context, documents are specifically analysed. Cessiones are approached from a threefold perspective, first generally in comparison with other documents, and then regarding their structure and contents.

L'autore analizza cessio, o il trasferimento dell'obbligazione da un creditore all'altro come transazione pertinente al diritto romano e alla tradizione giuridica romana, nei documenti di Tomasino de Savere, un notaio della fine del XIII secolo a Dubrovnik (Ragusa). Prima analizza il cessio nei formulari dei primi notai del XIII secolo. Dopo un breve contesto storico, i documenti sono specificamente analizzati. Cessiones sono analizzati da una triplice prospettiva, prima generalmente in confronto con altri documenti, e poi riguardo alla loro struttura e contenuto.
