  • Conférence 24-03-2015
    TRAVAUX DE NOS ADHERENTS QUAND L'ESPRIT DE LA RENAISSANCE SOUFFLAIT SUR TOULOUSE... 10 A Toulouse, 1'arch itecture et la décoration des hôtels particuliers sont autant de témoignages de l' esprit de la Renaissance comme l'a montré Bruno Tollon, professeur honoraire d 'histoire de 1'art, lors d 'une conférence donnée ici-même le 22 mars 2014. Ce soir, je vous proposerai une toute autre approche : nous ferons la traversée du XVIe siècle guidés par trois figures emblématiques de 1'humanisme toulousain, Jean de Pins, Jean de Coras et Mathieu de Chalvet. Nous arriverons jusqu'au début du XVIIe siècle car l'esprit de la Renaissance n'est pas limité. Jean de Pins Nous commencerons chronologiquement par Jean de Pins, prélat, diplomate et homme de lettres. Né en 1470 au château familial11 situé non loin de Muret, il manifeste très tôt un goût pour l' étude contrairement à ses frères qui se distinguent dans la carrière des armes. Il commence ses études à l'université de Toulouse et les poursuit en fréquentant celles de Cahors, Bourges et Paris. En 1497, il règle généreusement 1' héritage familial en faveur de son frère aîné Barthélémy en lui cédant ses droits sur les terres de Pins et de Muret en échange d'une rente de 300 livres tournois. Il peut ainsi étancher sa soif de connaissance en Italie et se rend à Venise, à Padoue et à Ferrare. Mais c'est à Bologne, siège de la plus ancienne université d'Europe fondée en 1088 et réputée pour l' étude du droit romain qu'il suit un double cursus littéraire et juridique pendant deux années où il obtient le doctorat en droit canon.

  • Ordering Divine Knowledge in Late Roman Legal Discourse
    Caroline Humfress ordering.3 More particularly, I will argue that the designation and arrangement of the title-rubrics within Book XVI of the Codex Theodosianus was intended to showcase a new, imperial and Theodosian, ordering of knowledge concerning matters human and divine. König and Whitmarsh’s 2007 edited volume, Ordering Knowledge in the Roman Empire is concerned primarily with the first three centuries of the Roman empire Ordering Divine Knowledge in and does not include any extended discussion of how knowledge was ordered and structured in Roman juristic or Imperial legal texts.4 Yet if we classify the Late Roman Legal Discourse Codex Theodosianus as a specialist form of Imperial prose literature, rather than Caroline Humfress classifying it initially as a ‘lawcode’, the text fits neatly within König and Whitmarsh’s description of their project: University of St Andrews Our principal interest is in texts that follow a broadly ‘compilatory’ aesthetic, accumulating information in often enormous bulk, in ways that may look unwieldy or purely functional In the celebrated words of the Severan jurist Ulpian – echoed three hundred years to modern eyes, but which in the ancient world clearly had a much higher prestige later in the opening passages of Justinian’s Institutes – knowledge of the law entails that modern criticism has allowed them. The prevalence of this mode of composition knowledge of matters both human and divine. This essay explores how relations in the Roman world is astonishing… It is sometimes hard to avoid the impression that between the human and divine were structured and ordered in the Imperial codex accumulation of knowledge is the driving force for all of Imperial prose literature.5 of Theodosius II (438 CE).

  • Canabtan Law Zimee
    Ube Canabtan law zimee. VOL. XXX1II. OCTOBER, 1913. No. 10. THE INDEBTEDNESS OF MODERN JURISPRUD- ENCE TO MEDIEVAL ITALIAN LAW. How much the world owes to Italian genius and labours! For Italy is " the mother of us all." The lamp of civilization has been handed on from ]ome to modern nations by Italian runners. By Italy learning was re-established and the fine arts revived; Italy is truly called " the mother of universities and the saviour of learning." European commerce was ori- ginally revived by Italy, after the flood oT barbarian invasions of Europe had spent itself. By Italians Honan law was re- covered from antiquity, adapted for use iin later times, and forever implanted as a living force in our modern civilization. These grand achievemnents were accomplished by a people labouring under perhaps the worst political handicap known to history. For over thirteen centuries prior to 1.871 Italy never enjoyed any of the blessings of. a political union, and o was either a prey to foreign invaders or torn asunder b*y fratricidal wars. During these imany centuries Italy was but " a geographical expression "-to use Metteruich's illuminating description. Modern united Italy is very youthful Italy is not yet fifty years old.' The exuberancc of Italian patriotism in the recent war with Turkey bears witness to this youthful- ness of modern Italy, which so ardently rejoiced ill its oppor- tunity to display national power. The beginnings of Italian law-using the terni " Italian in its modern sense-start with the emergence of Italy as a separate country out of the fifth century ruins of the ]loman Empire of the West, finally extinguished in 476.

  • Justinian's Redaction
    JUSTINIAN'S REDACTION. "Forhim there are no dry husks of doctrine; each is the vital develop- ment of a living germ. There is no single bud or fruit of it but has an ancestry of thousands of years; no topmost twig that does not greet with the sap drawn from -he dark burrows underground; no fibre torn away from it but has been twisted and strained by historic wheels. For him, the Roman law, that masterpiece of national growth, is no sealed book ..... ... but is a reservoir of doctrine, drawn from the watershed of a world's civilization!'* For to-day's student of law, what worth has the half- dozen years' activity of a few Greek-speakers by the Bos- phorus nearly fourteen centuries ago? Chancellor Kent says: "With most of the European nations, and in the new states of Spanish America, and in one of the United States, it (Roman law) constitutes the principal basis of their unwritten or common law. It exerts a very considerable influence on our own municipal law, and particularly on those branches of it which are of equity and admiralty jurisdiction, or fall within the cognizance of the surrogate or consistorial courts . It is now taught and obeyed not only in France, Spain, Germany, Holland, and Scotland, but in the islands of the Indian Ocean, and on the banks of the Mississippi and St. Lawrence. So true, it seems, are the words of d'Agnesseau, that 'the grand destinies of Rome are not yet accomplished; she reigns throughout the world by her reason, after having ceased to reign by her authority?'" And of the honored jurists whose names are carved on the stones of the Law Building of the University of Pennsyl- vania another may be cited as viewing the matter from a different standpoint.

To signify their enduring importance, this paper firstly seeks to illuminate the earliest historical evidence relating to the bill of lading and charterparty, and secondly, discuss their current legal and commercial nature and functions as well as their relationship with other transport documents such as the booking note, cargo manifest, mate’s receipt, and delivery order. In this context, the paper examines the lifecycle of transport as regards the documents used in the bulk and liner markets. Key words: Bill of lading, charterparty, sea waybill, booking note, delivery order, Mate’s receipt, Cargo manifest. 1. Introduction upon their shipment on board the ship (shipped bill of lading).

  • 113 Prolegomena to Establishing Pre
    113 PROLEGOMENA TO ESTABLISHING PRE-JUSTINIANIC TEXTS by ALANWATSON (Athens, Georgia) For many years a central issue in Roman law studies has been the extent to which the substance of the law set out in Justinian's Code and Digest collected together from earlier materials has been interpolated. In this paper I seek to give an answer based primarily, but not exclusively, on the instructions given by Justinian to his compilers. Most of us who teach Roman law have derived our basic knowledge of the pur- poses of Justinian's legislation from the teachings of our professors and the read- ing of standard textbooks. Seldom does it appear necessary to read the consti- tutions establishing the teams to produce this legislation or the prefaces promulgating the legislation 1. Even less frequently do we look at these constitu- tions and prefaces together. We always have more pressing things to do. As a consequence, much that is inexact has been written - by me as well as by others - about Justinian's purposes, and the powers given to his compilers. All of us who have written about classical Roman law have in effect expressed opinions on the substantive accuracy of pre-Justinianic texts contained in the Digest or Code. The problem is that, without an understanding of the intentions behind the two Codes, Fifty Decisions, Digest and Institutes, and of the powers given to the compilers, we have no basis for our opinions on the substantive ac- curacy of the pre-Justinianian texts in the compilation. It cannot be my purpose to examine or discuss the views expressed by modern scholars on the subject - an impossible task2.

  • A Sketch of the Civil and Canon Laws in England
    THE AMERICAN LAW REGISTER AND REVIEW. VOL. {44 0- } MARCH, 1896. No- 3. A SKETCH OF THE CIVIL AND CANON LAWS IN ENGLAND. Before proceeding to give a short sketch of the Civil and Canon Laws in England, it may, perhaps, be well to state what is meant by these terms. By the Civil Law is meant the law of the ancient Romans which had its foundation in the Grecian republics, and received continual improvements in the Roman state during the space of upwards of a thousand years and did not expire even with the Empire itself. The books to which Justinian, the Roman Emperor, reduced the whole of the Roman Civil Law are now four in number, viz., (i) The Pandects,sometimes termed The Digests, which contain fifty books, and wherein are recorded the opinions and sentences of several men learned in the Roman Law; (2) The Justinian Code, consisting of twelve books, wherein are comprised the several decrees and constitutions of the Roman Emperors; (3) Tie Novels, con- sisting of nine collections, which form a supplement to The Justinian Code ; and (4) The Imperial Institutions, consisting of four books. In so pure and elegant a style are The Pan- dects written, that Civilians say that, if the Roman language were entirely lost in every other respect, it might be easily retrieved again by the writings of The Pandects. 142 SKETCH OF THE CIVIL AND CANON LAWS IN ENGLAND. The Civil Law of Rome is superior to all other existing laws in wisdom, justice, candour and equity, in the decision of disputes between man and man.
