Archaeology Of Frankish Church Councils, Ad 511-768

de Gregory Halfond

218,63€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Despite growing scepticism concerning the evidentiary value of normative legal sources, scholars continue to mine the legislative acts of ecclesiastical councils for insight into political, religious, and quotidian life in Frankish Gaul. Between the reigns of Clovis and Charlemagne (AD 511-768) at least eighty councils assembled, often on royal command, to discuss issues of concern to the episcopal and clerical attendees. Their published canons were intended to communicate ecclesiastical policy in the Frankish regnum. However, scholars have paid comparatively slight attention to the institution responsible for this body of legislation. This book remedies this lacuna by delineating the functions and modus operandi of the Frankish church council as an administrative body.

Audun And The Polar Bear - Luck, Law, And Largesse In A Medieval Tale Of Risky Business

de William I. Miller

222,60€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Audun's Story is the tale of an Icelandic farmhand who buys a polar bear in Greenland for no other reason than to give it to the Danish king, half a world away. It can justly be listed among the finest pieces of short fiction in world literature. Terse in the best saga style, it spins a story of complex competitive social action, revealing the cool wit and finely-calibrated reticence of its three main characters: Audun, Harald Hardradi, and King Svein. The tale should have much to engage legal and cultural historians, anthropologists, economists, philosophers, and students of literature. The story's treatment of gift-exchange is worthy of the fine anthropological and historical writing on gift-exchange; its treatment of face-to-face interaction a match for Erving Goffman.

de Charlene Eska

295,48€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Cain Lanamna "The Law of Couples", an Old Irish text dated to c. 700, is arguably the most important source of information concerning women and the household economy in early Ireland.

The text was heavily glossed over a period of several centuries and provides insights into changes in the Irish legal system.

Civil Justice In Renaissance Scotland - The Origins Of A Central Court

de Andrew Mark Godfrey

377,63€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book offers a fundamental reassessment of the origins of a central court in Scotland. It examines the early judicial role of Parliament, the development of "the Session" in the fifteenth century as a judicial sitting of the King's Council, and its reconstitution as the College of Justice in 1532. Drawing on new archival research into jurisdictional change, litigation and dispute settlement, the book breaks with established interpretations and argues for the overriding significance of the foundation of the College of Justice as a supreme central court administering civil justice. This signalled a fundamental transformation in the medieval legal order of Scotland, reflecting a European pattern in which new courts of justice developed out of the jurisdiction of royal councils.

Marriage Advice For A Pope - John Xxii And The Power To Dissolve

de Patrick Nold

245,13€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Medieval Church taught that marriage was indissoluble and that consent was the key. Why then could a marriage be dissolved by one spouse joining a religious order after an exchange of consent but before consummation? This question vexed Thirteenth-century academics and, in the fourteenth century, Pope John XXII asked a group of leading theologians and lawyers to study the issue. Position-papers were produced to explain the exception to the rule of indissolubility for chaste monks and nuns, and to explore whether the pope had the power to extend it to celibate priests and deacons. These texts, edited here, were used by John XXII to draft his bull Antique Concertationi (1322). This study reconstructs the story behind the constitution, providing a unique insight into the decision-making process at the Roman curia in Avignon under a controversial pope.

Perpendiculum: Presumptions And Legal Arguments In The 12th Century

de David De Concilio

~~193,45€~~ 174,11€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Perpendiculum (or Summula de presumptionibus), produced in Northern France c.1170, is one of the earliest collections of brocards: a literary genre intended to provide legal arguments for disputation in the medieval schools of law. Its innovative use of dialectical techniques and its theorization of canon law presumptions have attracted the attention of legal historians, raising questions on its origin and milieu. This book offers the first comprehensive study of this work, with a Latin edition and an English translation of its text, shedding new light on the significance of this collection for twelfth-century legal teaching and learning.

Law And Legal Consciousness In Medieval Scotland

de Hector L. Macqueen

272,95€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book explores the rise of a Scottish common law from the twelfth century on despite the absence until around 1500 of a secular legal profession. Key stimuli were the activity of church courts and canon lawyers in Scotland, coupled with the example provided by neighbouring England's common law. The laity's legal consciousness arose from exposure to law by way of constant participation in legal processes in court and daily transactions. This experience enabled some to become judges, pleaders in court and transactional lawyers and lay the foundations for an emergent professional group by the end of the medieval period.

De Maitre A Eleve. Enseigner Le Droit A Orleans (C.1230-C.1320)

de Marie Bassano

381,60€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book focuses on the teaching methods and doctrine produced at the Orleans law school between 1230 and 1320. This crucial period in the history of legal science was the heyday of the Orleans studium, whose writings spread throughout the medieval West and whose students joined the careers of high public administration, royal or ecclesiastical. While highlighting the part played by the Orleans jurists in the tremendous renewal of legal teaching methods and legal concepts in the 13th century, this book sheds light on the mechanisms of doctrinal transmission which, from masters to students, forged a genuine scolar identity over time.

The present edition is the first to evaluate Hotman's text in the context of the history of Roman law from the time of the sixth-century Byzantine Emperor Justinian I to the Germany of the Enlightenment.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This volume offers the first comprehensive account of the monetary logic that guided the payment of wergild and blood money in early medieval conflict resolution.

This collection of interlocking essays by historians, philologists and jurists represents a major contribution to the study of law and society in Western Europe during the early Middle Ages. Contributors are Lukas Bothe, Warren Brown, Stefan Esders, Wolfgang Haubrichs, Paul Hyams, Tom Lambert, Ralph W. Mathisen, Rob Meens, Han Nijdam, Lisi Oliver, Harald Siems, Karl Ubl, and Helle Vogt.

Rules And Rituals In Medieval Power Games - A German Perspective

de Gerd Althoff

221,28€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Gerd Althoff's new book collects fifteen of his more recent contributions, most of them previously published in German, which elucidate the functioning of prestate societies. Examples from the Frankish and later German realm (800-1200) are used to clarify how rules and political rituals governed behavior in the power games between kings, churchmen and nobles. Such rules (Spielregeln) and rituals guided public and private behavior despite the fact that they existed only as unwritten customs. The long-overlooked significance of this way of establishing order has sparked a vivid and controversial international discussion in the last decades which continues today.

New Discourses In Medieval Canon Law Research - Challenging The Master Narrative

243,80€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 New Discourses in Medieval Canon Law Research offers a new narrative for medieval canon law history which avoids the pitfall of teleological explanations by taking seriously the multiplicity of legal development in the Middle Ages and the divergent interests of the actors involved. The contributors address the still dominant 'master narrative', mainly developed by Paul Fournier and enshrined in his magisterial Histoire de collections canoniques. They present new research on pre-Gratian canon collection, Gratian's Decretum, decretal collections, but also hagiography, theology, and narrative sources challenging the standard account; a separate chapter is devoted to Fournier's model and its genesis. New Discourses thus brings together specialized research and broader questions of who to write the history of church law in the Middle Ages.Contributors are Greta Austin, Katheleen G. Cushing, Stephan Dusil, Tatsushi Genka, John S. Ott, Christof Rolker, Danica Summerlin, Andreas Thier and John C. Wei.

Use Of Canon Law In Ecclesiastical Administration, 1000-1234

231,88€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Use of Canon Law in Ecclesiastical Administration, 1000-1234 explores the integration of canon law within administration and society in the central Middle Ages. Grounded in the careers of ecclesiastical administrators, each essay serves as a case study that couples law with social, political or intellectual developments. Together, the essays seek to integrate the textual analysis necessary to understand the evolution and transmission of the legal tradition into the broader study of twelfth century ecclesiastical government and practice. The essays therefore both place law into the wider developments of the long twelfth century but also highlight points of continuity throughout the period. Contributors are Greta Austin, Bruce C. Brasington, Kathleen G. Cushing, Stephan Dusil, Louis I. Hamilton, Mia Munster-Swendsen, William L. North, John S. Ott, and Jason Taliadoros.

Planning For Death - Wills And Death-Related Property Arrangements In Europe, 1200-1600

210,68€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The volume Planning for Death: Wills and Death-Related Property Arrangements in Europe, 1200-1600 analyses death-related property transfers in several European regions (England, Poland, Italy, South Tirol, and Sweden). Laws and customary practice provided a legal framework for all post-mortem property devolution. However, personal preference and varied succession strategies meant that individuals could plan for death by various legal means. These individual legal acts could include matrimonial property arrangements (marriage contracts, morning gifts) and legal means of altering heirship by subtracting or adding heirs. Wills and testamentary practice are given special attention, while the volume also discusses the timing of the legal acts, suggesting that while some people made careful and timely arrangements, others only reacted to sudden events.Contributors are Christian Hagen, R.H. Helmholz, Mia Korpiola, Anu Lahtinen, Marko Lamberg, Margareth Lanzinger, Janine Maegraith, Federica Mase, Anthony Musson, Tuula Rantala, Elsa Trolle Onnerfors, and Jakub Wysmulek.

Making Manslaughter: Process, Punishment And Restitution In Wurttemberg And Zurich, 1376-1700

de Susanne Pohl-Zucker

202,73€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Making Manslaughter, Susanne Pohl-Zucker offers parallel studies that trace the legal settlement of homicide in the duchy of Wurttemberg and the imperial city of Zurich between 1376 and 1700. Killings committed by men during disputes were frequently resolved by extrajudicial agreements during the late Middle Ages. Around 1500, customary strategies of dispute settlement were integrated and modified within contexts of increasing legal centralization and, in Wurttemberg, negotiated with the growing influence of the ius commune. Legal practice was characterized by indeterminacy and openness: categories and procedures proved flexible, and judicial outcomes were produced by governmental policies aimed at the re-establishment of peace as well as by the strategies and goals of all disputants involved in a homicide case.

Order In The Court: Medieval Procedural Treatises In Translation

de Bruce Brasington

303,43€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Order in the Court, Brasington translates and comments upon the earliest medieval treatises on ecclesiastical legal procedure. Beginning with the eleventh-century "Marturi Case," the first citation of the Digest in court since late antiquity and the jurist Bulgarus' letter to Haimeric, the papal chancellor, we witness the evolution of Roman-law procedure in Italy. The study then focusses on Anglo-Norman works, all from the second half of the twelfth century. The De edendo, the Practica legum of Bishop William of Longchamp, and the Ordo Bambergensis blend Roman and canon law to guide the judge, advocate, and litigant in court. These reveal the study and practice of the learned law during the turbulent "Age of Becket" and its aftermath.
