It is the ideal continuation of ‘Family Law and Society in Europe from the Middle Ages to the Contemporary Era’ (Studies inthe History of Law and Justice 5) given the enduring intertwining over the centuries between familylawandsuccessionlaw.Asinfamilylaw,insuccessionlawaswell,periods of general stability have alternated with others of almost frantic evolution up to current times, with the family unit and the rules of succession law continuously transforming along with society. Testamentary freedom itself is circumscribed by precise constraints and transformations. All of the papers published here reflect these lines of evolution. What I have written reflects my profound conviction. My idea came to fruition with the help of many. Firstofall,IwishtothankSpringerforgivingmetheopportunitytorealizethe project I had been cultivating for many years, as well as Christi Lue, Anja Trautmann and Sindhu Sundararajan for their work on the project. I am grateful to the series editors, Mortimer Sellers of the University of Baltimore and Georges Martyn of Ghent University, both of whom who are esteemed colleagues for accepting my proposal. I also thank all of the contributors, who have done their utmost to reach this result. Inparticular,IwouldliketothankStefaniaSalvi,seniorresearcherandmydear capableandcompetentpupilatMilanUniversity,andAndreaMassironi,researcher atUniversityMilano-Bicocca,ascholarwhomIappreciategreatly.Ithankthemfor their excellent and speedy work: helping and supporting me with commitment, efficiency and diligence in preparing the texts.
