This [three-]volume study on the history of the church of S. Giorgio Maggiore in Borgo di Grazzano in Udine from the Middle Ages to the present […] is comprised of a considerable number of chapters dealing with many different aspects of that history. Written by various authors, including among them the chief editor, Alessio Persic, the individual chapters have numerous “schede” or framed insertions interspersed in the text that serve to provide additional information on places named, and on legends and fables, for example, that relate to the subjects being discussed. Interesting to note, some of these documents are in Friulan, the language spoken by the people of the Grazzano quarter of Udine right up to the middle of the twentieth century. The chapter of greatest interest to the readers of this journal is certainly the one entitled “La Confraternita udinese di S. Giorgio”, on pp. 107–136 of the first volume [2001]. In it the authors, Rossana Mandalà, a trained archivist, and Alessio Persic, who teaches Christian and ancient literature at the Università Cattolica in Milan, describe an institution dating from the late Middle Ages that, as the authors state, is not mentioned in the fundamental work on mediaeval confraternities in Northern and Central Italy by G.M. Monti. They trace the history of the confraternity of St. George (known as San Zorz, in Friulan) from its founding early in the fourteenth century in Grazzano — a quarter dating from ancient Roman times located to the south-west of Udine and, at that time, still outside the walls of that developing city—right up to its suppression in the 1700s. […] Well documented on the basis of archival materials, and supplemented with appendices, bibliographies, and illustrations (as most of the chapters in this publication are), the Mandalà-Persic essay begins with an analysis of the Statutes which were drawn up in Latin on 24 August 1321 at the time of the founding of the Confraternity or shortly thereafter and are preserved in the Archive of the Parrocchia di San Giorgio Maggiore di Udine. […] The [three] volumes edited by Persic provide a wealth of new material based on original documents written in Latin, Italian, Venetan, and Friulan, and add to our knowledge both of the veneration of St. George in Friuli and of one early confraternity in Udine in particular that bore at its inception some peculiar social characteristics. Carefully documented and detailed studies such as these are most welcome and indeed essential if scholars are to have the necessary data to be able to test general existing notions about lay confraternities and eventually to formulate new interpretations of them.
