Description
As indicated by the publisher in the title of the title page (Collection of works regarding the feudalism of Sicily) and in the Introduction, the volume fits into the debate on feudal law in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies by reprinting the work of the magistrate and tax expert Giacinto Dragonetti, published in 1788, and following it with the Remonstrance on the reversion of the Feudi in Sicily of 1786 by Saverio Simonetti. The two works address the controversy on the legitimacy of the incorporation of fiefs into the Royal Bourbon Fisco in the event of the lack of a legitimate heir. Dragonetti, an official of the Bourbon Kingdom, president of the Gran Corte della Vicaria, personally involved in the Jacobin revolution of 1799 and in the reign of Murat, supports in this work the Bourbon reformist policy in opposition to the baronial jurisdictions and the opinions of many jurists of the time, along the lines of Filangieri. In Simonetti's Remonstrance we have a historical and legal overview of the situation in Sicily, with an appendix containing a detailed description of the situation of numerous fiefs on the island.
