2025, Urban History

The main question of this special issue is how international traders were able to manage their activities and conflicts successfully when they regularly had to cross legal boundaries and were operating in different and overlapping jurisdictions in northern Europe in the period c. 1350-1600. The contributions in this issue approach this central question from a range of perspectives. This introduction identifies these perspectives, as well as common themes and findings, and indicates why it is particularly pertinent to discuss the topic of crossing legal boundaries in the context of urban history. It also discusses relevant historiographical debates and key concepts of urban jurisdiction and jurisdictional boundaries in late medieval northern European towns.

Bajo el título "Procesos con nombre de mujer" agrupamos una serie de trabajos de historiadores del Derecho y Modernistas, que han surgido de un debate que se ha desarrollado dentro del marco del proyecto de Investigación "Justicia y Mujer. Los tribunales penales en la definición de una identidad de género. Castilla y Portugal (1550-1800)" (HAR2012-31909), financiado por el Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad. Entre nuestras metas ha estado conocer el trabajo que sobre objetivos muy similares se desarrollan en Italia y en España, los enfoques historiográficos, las fuentes, las preguntas y la capacidad de dar respuesta en cada uno de estos espacios y, a la postre, la necesaria búsqueda de una internacionalización del conocimiento histórico.

2025, Палеоросия. Древняя Русь: во времени, в личностях, в идеях

Оценка мести авторами Древней Руси осуществлялась преимущественно
сквозь призму идеи Божьего отмщения, которое занимало особое место в рассуждениях средневековых книжников. Летописи и другие источники содержат рассуждения на эту тему, включающие цитаты из библейских книг и других источников и их интерпретации относительно конкретных исторических событий. Под местью могли пониматься различные явления: от частной мести до военных столкновений. «Отместье от Бога» соотносится и с актами мщения, относящимся к древнерусским реалиям. Здесь отмечается изменение оценок, выражающееся во всём большем осуждении таких действий, поскольку мщение, кара должна исходить от Бога или его представителей. Однако сохраняется и нейтральная, даже сочувственная характеристика подобных эпизодов. Мотивы авторов, показывающих одних мстителей орудием в Божьих руках, а других поступающими неправильно, не всегда прозрачны. Многое в оценке конкретных событий книжниками зависело от их политических, идейных, даже личных пристрастий и других обстоятельств.
The evaluation of revenge by the authors of Ancient Rus' was carried out mainly through the prism of the idea of God's vengeance, which occupied a special place in the reasoning of medieval scribes. Chronicles and other sources contain reasoning on this topic, including quotes from biblical books and other sources and their interpretations in relation to specific historical events. Revenge could be understood as various phenomena: from private revenge to military clashes. In a number of cases, "revenge from God" is associated with acts of revenge related to ancient Russian realities. In relation to them, a change in assessments is noted, expressed in their increasing condemnation, since revenge, punishment must come from God or his representatives. However, a neutral, even sympathetic characterization of such episodes is also preserved. The motives of the authors, showing some avengers as a tool in God's hands, and others, acting incorrectly, are not always transparent. Much in the assessment of specific events by scribes depended on their political, ideological, even personal preferences and other circumstances.

The Library of a Corfiot Lawyer, Altavilla Calichiopulo (1673-1701)
Altavilla Calichiopulo, a Corfiot nobleman, belonged to one of the oldest
families on the island. He studied at the University of Padua and practiced
as a lawyer in Corfu. He was the owner of a rich book collection: this was
not merely a “professional library”, but gathered philological, theological,
philosophical and, of course, legal books. The latter in particular offer a
rare view on the legal tools of a practising attorney in the Venetian Stato da Mar. It includes a selection of the major authors of traditional comments to ius commune, both civil and criminal, but also works adopting the historical methods introduced during the Renaissance. A number of books, moreover, pertain to the idiosyncratic Venetian legal system. Such a diverse assembly of legal literature offered its owner a wide choice of solutions and quotations, useful in defending cases in Corfu, where jurisdiction applied often incomplete and uncertain legal rules.

2025, Relaciones Estudios de Historia y Sociedad

Desde el medievo, los conceptos de propiedad y de jurisdicción habían adquirido una complejidad impar, con categorizaciones y subdivisiones que se traducían en una concurrencia constante, en un mismo espacio, tanto de dominios como de jurisdicciones. A partir del siglo XVI, nuevas circunstancias económicas (presión demográfica, modificaciones en el mercado y explotación de nuevos recursos) y políticas (expansión atlántica y disputas imperiales en el continente) se tradujeron también en la multiplicación de cuerpos políticos con potestades jurisdiccionales. Desde el punto de vista de la historia del derecho, esto significó una puesta a prueba de la efectividad de las categorías jurídicas que delimitaban el ejercicio del poder, ya que ahora deberían aplicarse a un contexto territorial mucho más amplio y diverso. Esta nueva realidad jurisdiccional se tradujo también en un nuevo lenguaje para la disputa por los usos de los montes, dado el constante intento de los municipios de aplicar una lógica propietaria a la jurisdicción con la que ahora contaban.
En este artículo se expondrá un caso de movilización de la concepción de posesión durante el periodo moderno para atender a cuestiones jurisdiccionales en tierras de uso común. Me centraré en las disputas entre las villas guipuzcoanas que hoy conforman la mancomunidad de Aralar-Enirio, órgano supramunicipal dedicado a la administración compartida de dichos montes, enfatizando por un lado la preeminencia del concepto de posesión y, por otro, la intensificación de la relación entre propiedad y jurisdicción.

2025, The Thomist

Recent retrievals of Thomas Aquinas on pagan political virtue have generated creative commentary and exegesis for Christian ethics. This article examines the retrieval of pagan virtue discourse among sixteenth-century Spanish humanists and theologians who inhabited the Spanish Atlantic empire and debated the “affair of the Indies.” The historical turn to the New World conquests demonstrates how the racial pride endemic to classical pagan virtue became a matter of dispute pitting an Aristotelian ethic of magnanimity against a Thomistic ethic of charity. The interpretive dispute about pagan virtue between the Spanish humanist Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda and Spanish Dominican theologians concerned whether Augustine’s City of God presented the Roman Empire as a model for heroic virtue or a tyranny of splendid vice. This article considers the distinct political uses of pagan virtue in medieval and early modern political thought with focus on the opposition to the natural racial hierarchy of pagan political virtue by Dominicans Bartolomé de las Casas, Melchor Cano, and Domingo de Soto. Their Thomistic approach with legal and humanist inflections, at once capaciously Aristotelian yet critically Augustinian, further conceptualizes pagan virtue for contemporary Christian ethics and points toward more theological approaches to racial justice and racial solidarity.

PrisonCloud for inmates. Limits to digital normalization? Digital media and technology are affecting our lives in profound ways. The ongoing digitalization has even been called a new industrial revolution. For a long time, prisons have been considered as total institutions. Social developments over time, however, opened them up to the outside. In this contribution we report on PrisonCloud, a digital platform recently introduced in some new-built Belgian prisons. We contextualize this development and compare with earlier, similar prison regime reforms, especially those during the post-World War II period, when access to radio, television, telephone and computers became progressively available for inmates. These outside developments entered into life behind bars on the basis of a fragile balance between principles of normalization and less eligibility and were also affected by security considerations. The question arises whether and how such debates play a role concerning the digitali...

This contribution examines Venetian neutrality during the Franco-Habsburg confrontation between 1688 and 1714, focusing on the Republic of Venice’s legal and diplomatic strategies amid the Nine Years’ War and the War of the Spanish Succession. While Venetian policy sought to preserve both its territorial integrity and its historical dominio over the Adriatic Sea, the Republic faced significant legal and political challenges from the belligerent powers. Drawing on archival research conducted in Paris and Venice, this study explores the legal frameworks underpinning Venetian neutrality, including treaty obligations, maritime law, and the Republic’s place within the early modern theory and practice of neutrality. The findings highlight how Venice leveraged legal instruments, diplomatic rhetoric, and pragmatic enforcement measures to preserve its sovereignty in an era of European-wide conflict, contributing to broader debates on neutrality and the law of nations in early modern Europe.

Polish Roman Law Lecture in a Postmodern World The content of most Polish textbooks on Roman law is based on schemes that date back to the 19 th century. In the 20 th century, Polish jurisprudence was greatly influenced by the doctrine of the German historical school. The manifestation of this remains both the systematics of modern textbooks and their content. However, times have changed. We are witnessing universal processes such as globalization, decolonization, digitization, decodification, etc. Presenting ancient material to students without a modern commentary makes no sense. A Roman law lecture should contribute to building an intercultural dialogue, not unreflectively duplicate content that is tedious at best and annoying at worst. If Roman law is to maintain its status as the most important propaedeutic subject that Polish students learn in the first year of law, it must begin to relate to current realities. Our own cultural identity should be taken into account, and the solutions created by the Romans must be shown to a greater extent in comparative terms.

Roman law was transformed by the acquisition of an empire: rules derived from a deep republican distrust of magisterial powers gave way to those of an authoritarian imperial government. This development has been described as a replacement of the traditional procedures of the Roman Republic by a new administrative procedure, the cognitio extra ordinem, and the change is normally ascribed to the Roman emperors. I will argue, however, that there were in fact three distinct developments. First, the traditional Republican procedures were replaced, over time, by a summary investigative procedure that we can legitimately refer to as cognitio. Second, the investigative procedure of cognitio was itself modified, when special kinds of crimes were investigated according to special rules (extra ordinem). Third, this new -and originally extraordinary -investigative procedure came, by the time of Justinian, to be the normal one.

This chapter examines the pattern of conflict-generation and peace-building in Castile during the early modern era. It includes a qualitative casuistic analysis of pardon appeals submitted to the king as a strategy to avoid harsh judicial sentences. The evidence allows us to reconstruct representative patterns for the Crown of Castile concerning the agents who operated in the judicial system and legal arenas, the resolution of penal conflicts, and the building of public peace. We also examine the meaning of royal grace as a superior power capable of resolving disputes, fixing judicial mistakes, and dispensing equitable decisions over a wide range of conflict scenarios. As such, this chapter presents a novel perspective on royal justice that emphasises the participative nature of justice and challenges the traditional viewpoints that have characterised Castilian justice during the modern era as a weak, corrupt, and repressive system.

Bosnia and Herzegovina belongs to the circle of countries of the Romano-Germanic legal system, and whose roots go back to the time of the ancient Roman leges regiae. In this paper, we present the concept of the development of inheritance law from the original institutes, which over time became very inefficient. Thus, the original agnatic kinship, which was the main reason for inheriting and constituting legal inheritance orders, was upgraded with cognate kinship even in the period of the development of part-time law. At the same time, both types of kinship existed in parallel, so that the final cognate kinship in the last phase of the development of law would be the only type of kinship that was relevant in inheritance-legal relations. Over time, Roman citizens put pressure on the authorities to enact regulations that would replace inefficient institutions of inheritance law with more efficient and socially acceptable ones. How the authorities in ancient Rome dealt with the legal il...

Met de opkomst van de harmonisatiegedachte maakt de rechtsvergelijking op historische grondslag langzaam plaats voor een ander type rechtsvergelijking: rechtsvergelijking niet om beter te begrijpen hoe het recht van nu zo geworden is, 1 maar om vast te stellen hoe het Europees privaatrecht van de toekomst zou moeten luiden. Zowel bij het vervaardigen van 'beginselen' van Europees privaatrecht (zoals de alom bekende Principles of European Contract Law 2 ) als bij het maken van Europese 'modelregels' speelt rechtsvergelijking immers een essentiële rol. Zo bevat het in december 2007 verschenen ontwerp-Gemeenschappelijk Referentiekader (GRK) voor een Europees privaatrecht 3 modelregels die grotendeels zijn gebaseerd op een vergelijkende analyse van het recht van de Europese lidstaten. Deze bijdrage is gewijd aan een onderdeel van dit Ontwerp-GRK. Opmerkelijk is immers dat het GRK niet beperkt is tot regels die het meest samenhangen met de regulering van de Europese interne markt (met name het contractenrecht), maar ook andere onderdelen van het verbintenissenrecht omvat. Zo bevat het ontwerp onder meer regels voor een Europees recht inzake ongerechtvaardigde verrijking. In het navolgende wordt niet zozeer de inhoud van deze modelregels besproken als wel de noodzaak en de functie van het vervaardigen van regels over dit thema. Die vraag is alleen al daarom gerechtvaardigd omdat het verrijkingsrecht traditioneel niet een gebied is waarop de Europese wetgever actief is geweest: het Europese acquis 4 bevat er amper regels over. Dat het Ontwerp-GRK die regels wél bevat, wekt dus verbazing. Maar er is nog een reden om dit thema te bespreken: het Ontwerp-GRK werpt ons terug op de dogmatische vraag naar de precieze plaats van ongerechtvaardigde verrijking in het verbintenissenrecht, niet enkel op Europees maar ook op nationaal niveau. Zodra die plaats is opgehelderd, zal blijken dat de benadering van het Ontwerp-GRK een dwaalleer is. De volgende paragraaf schetst de achtergrond van het Ontwerp-Gemeenschappelijk Referentiekader en de rol van ongerechtvaardigde verrijking daarbinnen. Vervolgens (paragraaf 3) 1

Heller Erik életútja elevenedik meg a megemlékezésben. A közszolgálatban végigjárta az igazságügyi rendszer lépcsőfokait és itt szerzett gyakorlati tapasztalatokat. Már egyetemi tanulmányai alatt 1902-től a PestvidékiKirályi Törvényszéken gyakornokoskodott, majd 1906-ban bírósági aljegyző,
1908-ban jegyző lett, később, 1913-ban aljárásbíróvá nevezték ki Nezsideren (mai
Neusiedl am See), azután pedig a Budapesti Királyi Büntető Járásbíróságon.
1914-ben kapott bírói pulpitust a Budapesti Királyi Törvényszéken. 1916-tól az
Igazságügyminisztériumba került, ahol 1919-ben miniszteri titkárként, 1921-től
királyi főügyészhelyettesként dolgozott.
Heller Erik érdeklődése 1923-ban a közszolgálatot követően a tudományos pálya
felé fordult. Anyagi büntetőjoggal, büntető eljárásjoggal s a fiatalkorúak
büntetőjogával foglalkozott.
A budapesti Pázmány Péter Tudományegyetem jog- és államtudományi karán
magántanári képesítést szerzett és ebben a minőségben tanított. 1925-ben
Klebelsberg Kunó javaslatára a kormányzó a szegedi Ferenc József
Tudományegyetem büntető anyagi jogi tanszék vezetőjeként nyilvános rendes
tanárnak nevezte ki. Heller Eriket 1943-ban választotta a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia levelező
tagjává.

La querela inofficiosi testamenti è il primo antecedente storico
della successione cosiddetta necessaria. Nel diritto romano, infatti, per
mezzo di questo strumento i più stretti congiunti del testatore potevano
far dichiarare in giudizio la nullità del testamento dal quale fossero
stati esclusi allo scopo di fare aprire la successione legittima. La storia
dell’emersione del suo regime, elaborato sul finire dell’età repubblicana
sulla base di un espediente retorico, si rivela ancora oggi un campo
di riflessione utile per tutti gli studiosi impegnati nell’escogitazione di
modelli nuovi di disciplina nel settore della successione necessaria.
Il regime della querela inofficiosi testamenti si andò formando nel
tempo, fino a tutta l’età postclassica, grazie al quotidiano operare dei
più importanti strumenti di produzione del ius che hanno supplito alla
mancanza di un’organica disciplina legislativa. Nel rispetto formale dei
princìpi giuridici generali, tali strumenti hanno avuto carattere innovativo,
elaborando una disciplina capace di superare assetti non più rispondenti
alle esigenze del tempo.
Da questo punto di vista, il corso di lezioni dedicato da Matteo Marrone
al tema della querela inofficiosi testamenti valica i ristretti limiti
temporali della ricerca a suo tempo condotta per le doti di chiarezza e il
rigore dell’analisi. Con il suo taglio didattico, inoltre, quest’opera restituisce
pienamente, visibile agli occhi del giurista moderno, il peculiare
operare dell’interpretatio giurisprudenziale accanto all’intervento del
pretore e alla prassi giudiziale fino a tutta l’epoca classica.
Questa nuova edizione del corso di lezioni dato alle stampe nel
1962 è arricchita da una nota di lettura, una nota bibliografica aggiornata
e un indice delle fonti citate.

In 1599, Pope Clement VIII initiated an arbitration procedure between the King of France, Henry IV, and the Duke of Savoy, Charles Emmanuel I, over the supremacy of the Marquisate of Saluzzo, on the basis of a clause in the Peace of Vervins (1598). After a brief outline of the events surrounding the Marquisate in the second half of the sixteenth century, the chapter presents the contents of three Vatican manuscripts, which preserve a wealth of documentation on the arbitration procedure, and examines the main arguments put forward by the parties before the pope. The analysis highlights some of the references in this documentation to categories and principles developed by late medieval jurisprudence, in order to show the great importance of the latter in the discussion of an international dispute. The chapter concludes with a summary of the events that followed the failure of the arbitration until the Treaty of Lyons in 1601.

Il volume raccoglie gli atti di un convegno patavino svoltosi nel 2021 nell'ambito del progetto di ricerca For.Ma.-The Forgotten Manuscripts. Il progetto, avviato dall'Università di Padova, aveva tra i suoi obiettivi quello di riportare al centro dell'attenzione due codici del XII secolo che custodiscono alcune parti del Codice e del Digesto di Giustiniano. Si tratta di materiali di fondamentale importanza, non solo per lo studio del diritto del nostro passato, ma anche per la ricostruzione della storia della città di Padova e della sua Università, in quanto testimoni diretti e tangibili dell'attività di docenti e discepoli nei primi tempi dello Studium generale. I contributi qui raccolti li esaminano in una pluralità di prospettive differenti, a seconda delle competenze e delle sensibilità dei diversi autori, o percorrono sentieri di indagine che da quei codici si irradiano, rivelando così la ricchezza di informazioni e di spunti che essi sono tuttora in grado di offrire.

Emanuele Conte examines the medieval rediscovery of Justinian’s Corpus iuris civilis and its transformation into a foundation for European legal thought. Beginning in the 11th century, jurists reconstructed the Roman legal texts not merely as historical artifacts, but as authoritative sources for abstract legal reasoning. Through scholastic dialectics, they developed regulae iuris—general legal principles—by comparing and interpreting these texts. This process forged a pan-European legal culture rooted in shared sources and concepts. Conte argues that understanding this medieval reinterpretation is essential to grasp the enduring legacy of Roman law in Europe.

Po roku 1945 przedwojennych wątków w życiorysach uczonych, którzy zdecydowali się opuścić miasto nad Pełtwią, nie tuszowano wprawdzie, ale również niechętnie je eksponowano. Nad tymi zaś, którzy odmówili "repatriacji" i pozostali w granicach ówczesnego ZSRR, spuszczono zasłonę milczenia 2 . Impas na tym polu przełamały fragmenty monografii prof. Jana Kodrębskiego zatytułowanej Prawo rzymskie w Polsce w XIX wieku 3 .

Autorka dotarła do wielu niezbadanych archiwaliów i z nadzwyczajną skrupulatnością odtworzyła historię romanistyki lwowskiej w okresie II Rzeczypospolitej. Jej ustalenia uzupełniają wyniki prac innych uczonych.

Since the economic development has arisen as a model, some critical positions have emerged, both from theoretical aspects and in its terms of measurement. A non worthless set of indexes and indicators, so called alternatives, has been produced, building up an important basis of quantitative information. Examples of them are: Genuine Progress Index, Social Progress Index, Human Development Index, Basic Capacities Index, Gender Inequality Index, and Happy Planet Index. Each proposal contains innovative elements: new approaches or social components as gender and environmental issues, and more recently include also subjective aspects. This paper contains a critical systematization of indicators and indexes of objective/ subjective nature. A comparison is made and also statistical correlation for Latin-American countries.

The subject matter of this research is the abuse of rights in context of the late payment in commercial transaction. The abuse of rights as a law concept is well known in continental law families dates back to ancient Roman law. Considering the vision of the Directive 2011/7/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 on combating late payment in commercial transaction the Bulgarian legislation offers a new point of view of that concept which is currently been discussed in this article as a new law concept. That point of view has been considered by the author as an abuse of interests instead of abuse of rights. That vision was legislative introduced by the provisions of Art. 303а, paragraph 1-2 BCA and Art. 309а, paragraph 3 BCA in response to the requirement of acquis communautaire. As well as the abuse of interests is considered as a new law concept there is a necessity of a clear explanation of that notion and criteria for distinguish it from the old conc...
