In today’s lesson, students explored different types of primary sources from the medieval period, focusing on documents and notices. They learned about the role of the banditur, or town crier, who read proclamations and regulations to inform citizens about laws and societal rules. The lesson emphasized the importance of these documents for communication and community awareness, particularly in the absence of newspapers. Students also looked at examples of notices regarding prices and resources in society, illustrating the banditur’s role in conveying essential information to the public.
