EnglishSt. Symeon was a Byzantine monk of Sicilian origin who ended his life in Trier, where his memory is venerated since the year of his death (1035). The story of his life shows the intensity of the communication processes between the Latin Church and the Byzantine Church in the early 11th century, and is taken as the starting point of a study on the shaping of the legal system of the Latin Church between the end of the first Millennium and the first decades of the second. The research therefore focuses attention on the institutional experience of the «imperial Church», articulated around the two poles of the empire and the papacy. The ecclesiological and political ideal of collaboration between civil and ecclesiastical power found expression in the initiatives of Church reform promoted by emperors such as Henry II and Henry III and supported by some of the best popes of the first half of the 11th century. Some canonical collections engaged in the effort to select and coordinate ...

DeutschDie foedera pacis (Friedensabkommen) gehoren zu den Kernthemen des Ius gentium. Einige Passagen von Isidor von Sevilla und Augustinus, die im Gratians Decretum uberliefert wurden, und einige Fragmente (Gaius, Hermogenianus. Ulpianus), die in den Digesten vorkommen, sind die Hauptquellen, aus denen die mittelalterlichen Juristen ihre Lehren uber die Grundlagen derfoedera pacis (pactum und fides) und deren Auswirkungen ableiteten. Die Lehren mittelalterlicher Juristen uber die foedera pacis stellen eine der Wurzeln dar. die die Uberlegungen der Vater des modernen Volkerrechts (z. B. Grotius) nahrten..

The subject of the incardination of the clergy, the historical development of which is discussed here, implies aspects that represent the projection of certain ecclesiological concepts. The varied disciplinary, organizational and pastoral questions involved in the subject take on their significance relative to an image of the Church and the image of the ecclesiastical ministry which proceeds from the Church and is related to the Church. The study means to bring to the fore some of the fundamental questions connected with the argument, within the framework of the main trends by which an over twothousand- year-old history has been told. In order to understand these trends better, the Second Vatican Council has been chosen as a startingpoint for a retrospective examination. The Council emphasizes the ministerial significance of the Ordination of priests, and links the canon discipline of incardination with the purpose of service, within the Church and for the Church, whereby Ordination...

In the framework of the issue of the observance of promises and agreements (De iure belli ac pacis, bk. ii), Grotius discusses the question of whether Christians should be allowed to conclude treaties or alliances (federa) with those who were named infideles in the canonical and theological terminology. The question was ancient: since the early Middle Ages, alliances of Christians with infidels had been labeled as ‘impious’ (impium fedus). Grotius’s solutions are based on the converging traditions of medieval canon law and theology: treaties and alliances with infidels are intrinsically lawful according to natural and positive divine law, although they should be avoided in certain circumstances. Grotius’s concern, however, was not so much to affirm the theoretical lawfulness of the fedus cum infidelibus. The outcome of his argument consists in promoting the cohesion of Christians: he thinks that a joint action of the Christian nations is a moral and juridical obligation in the face ...

Firmly rooted on Roman and Canon law, Italian legal culture, from the Middle Ages to our day, has had an impressive influence on the civil law tradition, and it is rightly regarded as “the cradle of the European legal culture.” Along with the Justinian’s compilation, the US Constitution, and the French Civil Code, the Decretum of Master Gratian or the so-called Glossa ordinaria of Accursius are one of the few legal sources that have influenced the entire world for centuries. This volume explores a millennium-long story of law and religion in Italy through a series of 26 biographical chapters. The chapters range from the first Italian civilians and canonists, Irnerius and Gratian in the early twelfth century, to the leading architect of the Second Vatican Council, Pope Paul VI. Between these two book ends, this volume offers notable case studies of familiar civilians like Bartolo, Baldo, and Gentili and familiar canonists like Hostiensis, Panormitanus, and Gasparri but also a number of other jurists in the broadest sense who deserve much more attention especially outside of Italy. All chapters have been written by distinguished legal scholars and historians from Italy and around the world. This diversity of international and methodological perspectives gives the volume its unique character; it will appeal to scholars, lawyers, and students interested in the interplay between religion and law in the era of globalization.

The foedera pacis and the principle pacta sunt servanda. Researches on the doctrines of medieval jurists (12th–15th c.). The foedera pacis (peace accords) belong to the core of the fundamental themes of the ius gentium. Some passages of Isidore from Seville and Augustine, handed down in Gratian's Decretum, and some fragments contained in Justinian's Digest (Gaius, Hermogenianus, Ulpianus) were the main sources on which the medieval jurists elaborated their doctrines concerning the foundations of the foedera pacis (pactum and fides) and the effects arising from these premises. The doctrines of medieval jurists on the foedera pacis represent one of the roots that nourished the reflections of the Fathers of modern international law (Grotius' thought is here examined).

The principle enunciated in the title appears among the regulae iuris placed at the end of the Liber Sextus of Boniface VIII. It originates from the private law of Justinian, and shifted to the field of public law through the ius decretalium. The principle was used for centuries as a legal and rational argument in discussions on the dynamics of the exercise of government power, both in the Church and in secular institutions. The jurists (as well as philosophers, theologians, and political writers) placed the principle among the tools and procedures that enable the participation of the community (through its representatives) in the government of the res publica: the consent of the subjects is conceived as a limit to the power of anyone who has the government of the community. The principle of participation and consent is seen to descend from reason: it belongs to natural law or to the ius gentium.

This book aims to illustrate the fertile interactions and lasting synergies between Christianity and law in French history by exploring the contributions that brilliant legal figures have made over the centuries to juridical ideas and institutions. The volume is part of a larger project on Christian jurists in world history led by John Witte, Jr., director of the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University. The first two volumes, on English and Spanish Christian jurists, have already been published. This volume on French Christian jurists is thus the third in a series projected to include at least seven more.
Like the other volumes in the collection, this one is biographical, juridical, ecumenical, and global in character. The biographical dimension emphasizes not only the great legal contributions of each jurist but also his or her links to Christianity. The juridical dimension highlights the impact of each jurist on public and private law and justice, whether from inside the legal profession or from a broader philosophical, theological, or intellectual tradition. The ecumenical dimension shows Christianity as a unity, taking into consideration the way different churches and denominations are part of a whole. Finally, the global dimension emphasizes that each volume in this series on great Christian jurists illustrates the distinctive contributions of different nations to the global conversation about law and Christianity.
This volume on French Christian jurists examines the lives of twenty-seven key legal thinkers in French history, particularly the ways their Christian faith and ideals were a factor in framing the evolution of law and justice. All chapters have been written by distinguished legal scholars and historians, mainly from France but also from Belgium, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The collaboration among French and non-French scholars, and the diversity of international and methodological perspectives, gives the volume its unique character and value.

In poco meno di un secolo (1046-1123) si verificarono una serie di cambiamenti che aprirono a una nuova tappa nella vita dell’Europa occidentale: sorsero nuove forme di vita religiosa, si accentuò la lotta contro la simonia, venne riaffermato il celibato ecclesiastico, il papato riuscì ad acquisire un nuovo ruolo all’interno del panorama ecclesiastico, la desacralizzazione del potere politico sancì l’inizio della separazione tra spirituale e temporale. In questo seminario verranno approfonditi alcuni di questi avvenimenti che contribuirono a disegnare il volto della Chiesa e a fornire un nuovo assetto della società civile, così come li conosciamo oggi.
