• Court and society : the production and consumption of justice
• General conclusion.

"Late medieval societies witnessed the emergence of a particular form of socio-legal practice and logic, focused on the law court and its legal process. In a context of legal pluralism, courts tried to carve out their own position by influencing people's conception of what justice was and how one was supposed to achieve it. These "scripts of justice" took shape through a range of media, including texts, speech, embodied activities and the spaces used to perform all these. Looking beyond traditional historiographical narratives of state building or the professionalization of law, this book argues that the development of law courts was grounded in changing forms of multimedial interaction between those who sought justice and those who claimed to provide it. Through a comparative study of three markedly different types of courts, it involves both local contexts and broader developments in tracing the communication strategies of these late medieval claimants to socio-legal authority"-- Provided by publisher.

Was there international law in the Middle Ages? This book examines the extent to which such a system of rules was known and followed in the period 700 to 1200. Taking treaties as its main source, it challenges traditional interpretations of the history of international law and how it functioned in a period before fully fledged nation states.

"La loi salique a été l'objet d'une attention approfondie à la fin d6 Moyen Âge, où elle fut utilisée par les partisans du roi de France pour justifier les successions royales d l'éviction du roi d'Angleterre, aussi bien qu'à l'époque moderne et contemporaine, car les érudits y ont cherché l'expression des -coutumes germaniques originelles. Pour autant, elle n'a fait l'objet que d'une édition partielle et les manuscrits qui la comportent, copiés à l'époque carolingienne, n'ont encore jamais fait l'objet d'une étude systématique. L'étude revient sur les conditions de l'échec d'une édition scientifique de la loi salique, au-milieu du XXe siècle, puis se consacre aux témoins manuscrits, copiés après 750. La comparaison détaillée des différentes versions du texte et des différents recueils manuscrits jette un nouvel éclairage, sur l'histoire compliquée de ce texte."--Page 4 of cover.

"Around 1485, the age-old compilation of Old Frisian customary law, partly dating back to the 11th century, was put into print. Latin glosses were included in the text with references to Canon and Roman law. This gloss tradition had come into being during the 13th and 14th centuries. This incunable came to be known as Freeska Landriucht or Frisian Land Law. This book presents its first edition with an English translation"-- Provided by publisher

"Peter Linehan (+2020) followed his survey of original papal letters in Portugal, Portugalia pontifica 1198-1417 (2013) with the present volume, España Pontifica, that covers papal letters to Spanish recipients from Pope Innocent II (1198-1216) to Pope Boniface VIII (+1303). This volume will provide students of the medieval papacy and the Spanish church with an invaluable research tool to explore the relationship between Rome and Spain during the crucial period of the Spanish Reconquistà after the battles of Navas de Tolosa (1212) to the capture of Seville (1248). Linehan spent his career cataloguing papal letters from more than sixty Spanish repositories. For the past sixty years the Vatican has also been engaged in publishing surveys of original papal letters preserved from various European archives. However, this volume includes material that has not been included in these surveys"-- Provided by publisher

"L'obiettivo principale dei saggi di questo volume è quello di analizzare i fenomeni di mobilità e circolazione di persone, idee e oggetti legati allo studio e alla pratica del Diritto, sia che ci si rivolga alle élite intellettuali, ai testi e ai manoscritti (miniati o meno), ai loro modelli artistici, o alla circolazione del Diritto stesso, e di studiare idee legate alla pratica del Diritto e al suo ruolo nell'Occidente medievale in generale.0Questo volume è incentrato sulla circolazione di persone e idee e oggetti e manoscritti legati alla pratica del Diritto durante i secoli XIII-XV. Il volume si propone di dibattere e analizzare le modalità con cui i fenomeni della mobilità hanno interagito con i processi di codificazione e di insegnamento del Diritto, influenzandone anche la rappresentazione visiva nelle miniature dei manoscritti"-- Provided by publisher

To many observers, European law seems like the endpoint of a mostly random walk through history. Certainly the trajectory of legal systems in the West over the past 2,500 years is far from self-evident. In A Short History of European Law, Tamar Herzog offers a new road map that reveals underlying patterns and unexpected connections. By identifying what European law was, where its iterations could be found, who was allowed to make and implement it, and what the results were, she ties legal norms to their historical circumstances, and allows readers to grasp their malleability and fragility. Herzog describes how successive European legal systems built upon one another, from ancient times through the establishment and growth of the European Union. Roman law formed the backbone of each configuration, though the way it was understood, used, and reshaped varied dramatically from one century and place to the next. Only by considering Continental civil law and English common law together do we see how they drew from and enriched this shared tradition. Expanding the definition of Europe to include its colonial domains, Herzog explains that British and Spanish empires in the New World were not only recipients of European legal traditions but also incubators of new ideas. Their experiences, as well as the constant tension between overreaching ideas and naive localism, explain how European law refashioned itself as the epitome of reason and as a system with potentially global applications.
