The University of Chicago Law Review Volume 66 Spring 1999 Number 2 © 1999 by The University of Chicago Magna Carta and the ius commune R.H. Helmholzt The English Magna Carta (1215) has long stood as a symbol of human liberty and the rule of law. This Article investigates its intellectualorigins, suggesting the existence of pos- sible influence on the Charter by the contemporary ius commune, the amalgam of Roman and canon laws that had emerged in consequence of the revival of legal studies on the Con- tinent in the twelfth century. Comparing the substance of over half of the chapters with the contemporary ius commune, the Article demonstrates that many similarities existed. Ac- cepting the possibility of use of Continental sources in drafting the Charter helps explain otherwise puzzling features in it. It also accords with common patterns in legal develop- ment at the time. INTRODUCTION The subject of this inquiry is not unexplored territory. Far from it. Indeed writing about Magna Carta at all requires a measure of presumption.

  • THE PECIA SYSTEM and ITS USE Alison Joan Ray
    THE PECIA SYSTEM AND ITS USE IN THE CULTURAL MILIEU OF PARIS, C1250-1330 Alison Joan Ray UCL Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 2015 1 I, Alison Joan Ray, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed, ___________________ 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is an examination of the pecia system in operation at the University of Paris from c1250 to 1330, and its use in the cultural milieu of the city during this period. An appendix (1) lists the manuscripts with user notes on which the thesis is primarily based. As the university community rose as a leading force in theology and philosophy, so too did the book trade that supported this network. The pecia system of book production mass-produced texts efficiently and at a low cost to its users, mainly university masters, students, preachers, and visitors to the Paris cultural community. Users interacted with pecia manuscripts by leaving a wide range of marginalia in works. Marginalia are classified according to a devised user typology scheme and include ownership marks, passage summaries, and comments on the main text. We have two further surviving sources for the Paris system: bookseller lists of pecia-produced works from 1275 and 1304. Chapters 1 to 10 examine separate genres of texts available on the pecia lists, theological and philosophical works as well as preaching aids. That Paris pecia manuscripts were used in action as preaching aids is one of the conclusions the user notes help to establish.

  • Anuscripts on My Mind
    anuscripts on my mind News from the No. 28 September 2019 ❧ Editor’s Remarks ❧ Exhibitions ❧ Queries and Comments ❧ Conferences and Symposia ❧ New Publications, etc. ❧ Editor’s Remarks ear colleagues and manuscript lovers, we are now close to starting a new season. After a not-so- Dunbearable summer, things seem to be cooling off a bit, and I'm looking forward to walking around with a jacket on instead of tank tops (though I've kept a jacket and wooly sweaters in my office all sum- mer to counteract the freezing A/C). I have a couple of announcements to make as I put the finishing touches to this issue of Manuscripts on My Mind. The first is to report that this year's 46th Saint Louis Conference on Manuscript Studies— held on June 17 and 18 and embedded in the annual Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies organized by the Center for Medieval Studies at Saint Louis University—was uniformly brilliant: papers were especially well crafted, beautifully delivered, presented new material and ideas, and gave us all a lot to think about. Francesca Manzari's plenary lecture assessed the relatively unexplored topic of four- teenth-century Italian Books of Hours, connecting them with similar devotional instruments and texts and amplifying our knowledge about pious activities of the time. My great thanks to all who made it such a memorable occasion. The next news is more difficult to put into words. I deeply regret having to tell you that next year's 47th Saint Louis Conference on Manuscript Studies, to be held June 15-17, 2020, will be the last I organize and officiate.

Tolerantia: A Medieval Concept Istvân Bejczy The notion o f tolerance is generally considered a product of modem times and in particular of the Age of Reason.1 The enlightened philosophers, who laid the foundations of liberalism and democracy, are often hailed as the men who introduced the notion of tolerance as a means of guaranteeing maximum freedom to the individual members of society. Writings such as the Epistola de tolerantia o f John Locke and the Traité sur la tolérance of Voltaire prove in­ deed that tolerance was an important topic in enlightened thought. Sometimes it is believed that an earlier notion of tolerance can be found, most notably in the writings of Christian humanists like Erasmus. As a matter o f fact, “Erasmian tolerance” is a standing phrase in the Netherlands, where the people are happy to link the one virtue for which they openly praise themselves with the only Dutch author who is universally known. The Middle Ages, on the other hand, have no reputation for tolerance, the lack of which is usually attributed to the influence of a powerful Church that was able and willing to suppress all major deviations from the exclusive truth it was convinced it possessed. Only the Reformation, it is often argued, forced the Church to change its attitude and to redefine its relation towards dissi­ dents.2 As a consequence, many historical studies of the idea o f tolerance begin only in the sixteenth century.3 This representation of the history of tolerance is, however, distorted.

  • Fransen the Religious Aspect Of
    Gérard Fransen, “The Religious Aspect of Law,” trans. W.L. North, from the French “L’Aspect religieux du droit,” in Chiesa, diritto, e ordinamento della ‘Societas christiana’ nei secoli XI e XII: Atti della nona Settimana di studio, Mendola 1983, Miscellanea del Centro di studi medioevali 11, Milan 1986, 159–170. “When canon law,” writes Gabriel LeBras, “gained its autonomy in the twelfth century, it remained for a time the ally of theology; in the thirteenth century, however, it diverged from it, not in order to render itself clearly more spiritual but to become increasingly civil and almost secular. Many wish for its religious character to be restored to it.” 1 For my part, I would undoubtedly be less severe for the thirteenth century than for the sixteenth. Furthermore, I think it necessary, when speaking of canon law, to distinguish between the “sources”, that is to say the conciliar or papal interventions—of different natures—and the science of canon law, that is, the syntheses, whether good or bad, elaborated by canonists of every level of ability, the great and the mediocre, and the finally the idea that contemporaries make of canon law itself. I am speaking of “canon law”. I have long believed that the term was recent, that is, after the Council of Trent. It is not: we find it in the Summa Viridunensis from the 1170s, in a Questio (Klosterneuberg/Sion) from the 1220s, and from the pen of Humbert of Romans who, in the second half of the thirteenth century, explains to his Dominican brothers how it is fitting to preach to students “on canon law”.
