This is a microstudy about a table talk held in the Stube of a Tyrolean peasant in 1610 where he explained his will and pre-mortem planning to his kin. They did not like what they heard and what followed was a heated inheritance dispute after his death. This microstudy serves as a starting point for a social, economic, and legal study of a locality in southern Tyrol raising questions about given economic definitions. I would like to take this opportunity to discuss with you my book structure and to present some results of one chapter, the 'material world' of the protagonist.
