In Europe the century following the demographic collapse caused by the Black Death epidemics was characterised by profound economic changes. This article approaches the subject from a particular perspective: the organisation of long-distance trade. It considers mainly two merchant communities that may seem very different in terms of technical and legal culture and commercial practices: the Florentines and the Hanseatic merchants. The article aims to show that actually these two communities adopted surprisingly similar organisational solutions to respond to the challenges and risks of the new economic context as it emerged in the second half of the fourteenth century. In particular, both of them moved towards a 'light' network organisation, based on reputation, trust and reciprocity. For the Florentines this was a major change, since in the first half of the fourteenth century, in a completely different economic context, the large, hierarchically organised company had prevailed.

F. Coulmas
This paper recounts the experience of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake on 11th March 2011 and offers an assessment of reactions to it on personal, social and policy levels. Almost a decade after the event, it looks at traces of the disaster, discussing in particular the following questions. What were the consequences if any for Japan’s energy policy? What other consequences were there, for example, concerning crisis management? How did people integrate the earthquake into their view of history? How did the earthquake affect people’s life satisfaction? And how does it relate to current events? It argues that despite its for all concerned unprecedented severity the disaster led to gradual improvements, rather than fundamental change.

The article aims to illustrate some recent works concerning the use of graphic signs and symbols in the visual and written cultures of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. It intends to highlight the methodological and historiographic contributions as well as the new sources brought to the attention of scholars by Ildar Garipzanov and Antonella Ghignoli. Garipzanov has identified a new theoretical framework, graphicacy, with which Christian graphic signs and symbols can be interpreted. Ghignoli has managed to develop a new methodology capable of framing, classifying and observing in the long term a phenomenon so far totally neglected in the studies: the use of graphic religious and identity symbols in pragmatic writings of post-Roman kingdoms between the fifth and eighth centuries.

The article discusses four books published during the 2010s, which address – directly or indirectly – the problem of the ‘feudal revolution’; that is, the break-up of the Carolingian structures of political power that is said to have taken place all across western Europe at some point between the early and the central medieval period, leading to the creation of localised lordships. This interpretative framework was seriously challenged in the early 1990s, when Dominique Barthelemy and other historians argued that the sharp distinction between Carolingian ‘public order’ and ‘feudal’ lordships was ill-conceived. The article shows how the books by Charles West, Alessio Fiore, Nicolas Schroeder and Maria Elena Cortese have contributed – and might further contribute – to this debate.

The Presence of a Trend affiliated to James in the jewish-christian Mouvement legitimates the Polemic about the Justification of James 2 to Rm 3 and Gal 2. In this context there is the controversy regarding the Pauline theory of justification, which however does not intend to replace the works for faith but to elevate the works to the role of verifying the faith, just as in the first part of the same chapter according to he had made faith the judgment criterion of history
