The Matricula Societatis Fabrorum Civitatis Bononiae is the richly illustrated membership and regulatory book of Bologna's medieval society of smiths. Created in the fourteenth century and augmented during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, it preserves an exceptional visual record of specialized metalworking trades. Numerous miniatures show artisans engaged in their occupations and complement the guild's written records. The manuscript provides unusually vivid evidence for the organization of craft labor and the working practices of smiths in late medieval Bologna.
