Abstract

This article highlights the importance of historical court records as primary documents. Rather than focusing on the individual and specific information contained in each case, it emphasizes a serial reading and analysis of these records to understand the institutions that produced them. To illustrate this, the study focuses on court records related to building disputes from Lisbon’s Registry of the Properties Court, which was a judicial institution specific to the city during the early modern period. It also explains why these court records are currently held in the National Archive Torre do Tombo, within the Fundo Geral dos Feitos Findos collection, and how they can be accessed.
