   ABSTRACT:  In the context of central and northern Italy in the first half of the 14th
   century, characterized by extreme legal particularism and production of many mu-
   nicipal statutes, the statute of the communities of the Vescovado of Siena rep-
   resents a rare case of 'participated' legal uniformity, result of normative power, or
   potestas statuendi, of the six communities involved, although presumably desired
   and urged by Bishop  Donosdeo  Malavolti. The statute of 1324, which has come
   down  to us in a vulgarized version of 1414, presents various peculiarities even in
   its contents, such as a more toned-down character of the penal legislation com-
   pared to the other statutes of the time, probably linked to the intention of the
   episcopal lordship not to arouse discontent among the population.

   KEYWORDS:   Statutes, Bishopric, Siena.
