Trevor Dean is Emeritus Professor at Roehampton University. His first book was on the city of Ferrara and its rulers in the fourteenth-fifteenth centuries. Since then, he has written numerous books and studies on crime, policing and criminal justice in late medieval Italy, including themes such as insult, homicide, suicide, theft and revenge.

Daniel Waley was Professor of Medieval History at the London School of Economics until 1972, when he became Keeper of Manuscripts at the British Library until his retirement in 1986. He was one of the leading medieval historians of Italy in the second half of the last century and died in 2017.
