• Resumen

  • The provincial archives of the Franciscan Order, generally speaking, have not received much attention. This is due in part to the unprofessional conservation of the documentary memoria of the Order�s provinces. Furthermore, the number of medieval sources available is quite meager. After a survey of the character of and legislation on provincial archives in general, the author presents the case of the historical archives of the Sicilian province. These archives contain fragments of many of the former Sicilian provinces which amount to sixteen, as well as documents pertaining to the current province. Among the different sections of the archives, the various Commissariats of the Holy Land and their archival materials are especially highlighted for the particular juridical configuration which they had in Sicily.
