orders. The third part is dedicated to the study of economic and social life of the community. First,

land ownership, agricultural production and livestock. There are specific references to issues
relating to the use of common goods and the difficult relationship between agriculture and pastoral
practice. The last part of the work is devoted to milling facilities. Given the nature of the sources
