Testi giuridici e amministrativi in volgare del Salento medievale

This paper examines a selected corpus of administrative and legal texts produced in Medieval Salento, which has been created thanks to the database of the BDSud(it) project (www.bdsud.it). The results highlight the existence of a good number of documents, whose investigation shall contribute to improve the definition of the historical-linguistic picture of Italy's Eastern strip of land.
