Acts of writing and authority in Begwena and Lasta between the 15th and 18th century: a regional administration comes to light

Résumé

This presentation of a project for editing and translating documents that can be used to write the history of Bǝgwǝna-Lasta from the twelfth till the eighteenth century seeks to study the sorts of documents set down in writing as a function of the type of power exercised at the time and the means for writing and recording documents. Following a brief description of the corpus, the question of how these documents came to be kept in manuscripts in Bǝgwǝna-Lasta is examined. Through these documents,a regional administration comes to light, along with changes in it from the fifteenth till the eighteenth century. These changes are reflected in the production of written documents, which varies as a function of the powers-that-were in the region.
