Coming Home: The Repatriation of the Boston Mariegole Lisa Fagin Davis Friday 5 July 2024 NEW LOCATION: Alan Baxter, The Gallery, 77 Cowcross Street, London, EC1M 6EJ In Renaissance Venice, confraternities and workmen’s guilds played a fundamental role in religious, social and civic life. Each confraternity had its own book of policies and rules, called a mariegola. While researching two mariegole belonging to the Boston Public Library in Massachusetts (one a codex and the other a mere fragment), manuscript scholar Lisa Fagin Davis discovered that they had been stolen from the Venetian Archivio di Stato during World War II. In this lecture, Dr Davis will tell the story of her discoveries and research that led to the mariegole’s repatriation to Venice in 2017.
