- Scope and content:
- The loan monopoly, which Morello feared so much, was threatened by the presence of other Jewish groups: between 1557 and 1558, seven Jewish families settled in Pavia, despite the opposition of the Municipality, while in 1566, eight money-lending companies were asked to pay the census. The fact that the Pavia community was numerous and well organised benefited Jews in economic transactions with the city and in disputes with students, which had characterised Jewish life in Pavia since its beginning.
- Archival history:
- The fond "Atti dei notai (Notarile Ultimi versamenti)" (Notarial deeds (Last transfers)) (items 1-4074), contains documents from the Milan District Notary Archive that were received through several transfers: 1963 (up to 1 January 1863 and with an appendix of notaries’ acts prior to 1800), 1973 (with documents up to 1 January 1873), 1984 (with documents up to 1 January 1884), 1993 (with documents up to 1 January 1893). In addition, the last transfer contained, besides deeds and indexes, wills from different notaries (items 3889-3904), documents of the Registry Office (items 3905-4074) and the Indexes of the stakeholders (items 1-14). The series "Indexes of the stakeholders" or "General index of the stakeholders and the deeds in which they intervened" consists of 14 volumes (for the years 1886-1892) that were created in the Notarial Archive and subsequently microfilmed by the Milan State Archives, which refer – on the basis of the names or names of the stakeholders appearing in the notarial deeds drawn up in the years indicated - to the name of the notary in charge and to the details of the deed. These registers represent a consultation tool of considerable importance, which is almost completely lacking for the notarial series of the previous centuries. The following is a selection of the deeds of the Jewish population of the city of Milan for the year 1887, concerning persons whose surnames have the initials A-F.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Notarial Archive was established in Milan by a royal letter from the Empress Maria Teresa on 22 May 1769. Before that date, notarial deeds of various kinds (sales, procurements, dowries, testaments, post-mortem inventories and others) were kept by individual notaries and heirs. Following the Royal Edict of 1 October 1775, the Milan Notarial Archive acquired bundles and rubrics of deeds from notaries in Milan and in the duchy (with the exception of the cities of Como, Cremona, Lodi, Pavia and partly Varese) that had died since 1290 and the deeds produced by the Office of the Governor of the Statutes, called Panigarola (abolished in 1787), which was responsible for collecting the registration of almost all other deeds of civil authorities and public deeds of private individuals. The Royal Decree of 25 May 1879, no. 4900, in the post-unification age, defined the obligation to transfer notarial deeds to the Notarial Archive on the death of the notary or his heirs and the obligation for all holders - in different ways - of parts or entire notarial archives to transfer them to the relevant Notarial Archive. The law of 22 December 1939, no. 2006 finally established the obligation for all Notarial Archives to transfer the deeds of notaries who had practiced before 1 January 1800 to the respective State Archive. Over the years the State Archives of Milan have constantly received transfers of notaries’ deeds that have increased the fonds’ documentary heritage.
