Este estudio aborda el mundo del buen gobierno y de la moralidad en Cerdeña en la Baja Edad Media, a partir de los libros de Ordenanzas, tomando como principales documentos de análisis las Ordinacions de la ciudad de Cagliari y las de Alguero de 1526. Las Ordinacions aportan información sobre cuáles eran los principales elementos que el gobierno ciudadano debía preservar, así como los principales reatos que prohibir y castigar. De esta manera recibirán una dura pena los que bestemien, sean de cualquier nacionalidad y condición social. Será igualmente perseguido el juego de azar, la avaricia, los falsos juramentos, la infedelidad o el incesto, reatos castigados según la extracción social, religiosa o étnica. Las Ordinacions también aportan información sobre las dificultades surgidas a raíz de la convivencia de cristianos árabes y hebreos, sobre la prostitución, sobre las prácticas funerarias, entre otros elementos relacionados con el universo del poder y la espiritualidad. Este análisis se basa también en la comparación de todos éstos elementos con otros textos de índole similar generados por otras ciudades sardas, así como por el resto del área cultural catalano-aragonesa
This study analyses the world of good governance and morality in Sardinia in the late Middle Ages from the Book of Ordinacions, using as main documents of analysis the Ordinacions of the city of Cagliari and Alghero (1526). The Ordinacions provide information on the main elements that must be preserved by the city government, as well as the main crimes that need to be prohibited and punished. In this way, those who swear and blaspheme, no matter which nationality or status they have, receive a harsh punishment. Also gambling, avarice, false swearing, infidelity and incest, will be pursued; these crimes will be punishable according to social background, religion or ethnics. The Ordinacions also give insight into the difficulties encountered as a result of the coexistence of Christians, Jews and Arabs, on prostitution, on the funerary practices, among other elements related to the universe of power and spirituality. This analysis is also based on the comparison of all these items with other texts of similar nature generated by other cities in Sardinia as well as the rest of the cultural area of Crown of Aragon.
