To Have and to Hold: Marrying and its Documentation in Western Christendom, 400–1600
Philip L Reynolds
This 2007 volume analyzes how, why, and when pre-modern Europeans documented their marriages - through property settlements, prenuptial contracts, court testimony, church weddings, and more. The authors consider both the function of documentation in the process of marrying and what the surviving documents say about pre-modern marriage.
