Ligitation was very common phenomenon in early modern European society, because of the legal pluralism and the intense mobility of people. Conflicts frequently involved foreigners and in that sense the long-lasting presence of Swiss merchants in France offers an interesting case study. Despite the alliance treaties between the Swiss Confederacy and France giving the Swiss important privileges, their rights were often theatened by local officials. Being involved in such litigation meant fulfilling the demands of differents institutions to provide proof for any rights claims. In this framework a significant number of documents were produced, collected and archived. the essay argues that these documental practices favoured a textual and collective memory among, Swiss migrants, creating abroad a sort of proto-national selfconsciousness, before it appeared within the Old Swiss Confederacy itself

This essay focuses on the graffiti in a single cell of the Inquisition's prisions in Palermo, sipplemented with inquisitorial trial records and documents produced during an inspection of the Sicilian Inquisition at the behest of the Suprema in Madrid. The graffiti in combination with theses documents allow us to hear a polyphony of voices, not just the dialogic relation of inquisitors and victims that has been questioned by historians, but a new landscape which give voice to the inmates themselves. I aim at perceiving the voices of the prisioners, but also at the construction of their religious identity under the impact of their incarceration and trial at the hands of the Inquisition. I suggest that we see in cell 2 religious identily not as something that the inmates already had before, and which then underwent a process of radicalization, but rather as something actually created in the specific context of the prision
