Tabula Picta: Painting and Writing in Medieval Law »

Marta Madero is Professor of Medieval History at Universidad Nacional de Gerneral Sarmiento in Argentina.

Who owns the tabula picta, the painted tablet? The owner of the tablet? Or to the person who painted it? This meticulous analysis of how medieval jurists responded to these questions is a major a contribution to the history of the proprietary rights to artistic works and to the history of ideas.
