Abstract
The study concerns the extrajudicial resolution of
disputes over dowries and hereditary assets, which are registered in the
notarial books of Corfu, one of the Ionian Islands, in the 18th and 19th
centuries. The opposing parties can
resort to arbitration, invoke the intervention of common “unknown”
friends or resorve their differences by themselves. The
quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the dowries and inherited
assets highlight the social and economic status of the parties involved.
