An Introduction Dieser Beitrag steht unter einer Creative Commons cc-by-nc-nd 3.0 Abstract Various views of the historical phenomenon of custom coexist in the world’s legal historical schol- arship. Some scholars hold that customs are the primary feature of a people’s autonomy and self- determination in the permanent struggle against the »imperialist« attitudes of major powers. Others try to stay closer to historical sources, where the concept of custom has apparently served as a tool of argumentation that has proven very useful in defending the jurisdictional rights of collective subjects, such as cities, religious communities or regional powers. The key to correctly understanding medieval theories of custom is the relationship between custom and the ius commune. The latter is the complex of normative authorities and doctrinal interpretations produced by jurists from the 12th to the 15th century. This relationship was not as conflictual as some of the legal historical literature depicts. Some examples regarding serfdom, private peace and customary procedures of evidence show how complicated the intertwining of the ius com- mune, customary laws and municipal statutes in thelateMiddleAgescanbe. □× Rg 24 2016 Emanuele Conte Consuetudine, Coutume, Gewohnheit and Ius Commune. An Introduction The issue of the relation between local custom- an extremely strong School of »Germanists« that ary laws and the »common law« (ius commune) is had detached themselves from the typical method- at the root of an imposing tradition of historical ology of the pandectistic scholarship.

  • French and German Cultural Cooperation, 1925-1954 Elana
    The Cultivation of Friendship: French and German Cultural Cooperation, 1925-1954 Elana Passman A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Dr. Donald M. Reid Dr. Christopher R. Browning Dr. Konrad H. Jarausch Dr. Alice Kaplan Dr. Lloyd Kramer Dr. Jay M. Smith ©2008 Elana Passman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ELANA PASSMAN The Cultivation of Friendship: French and German Cultural Cooperation, 1925-1954 (under the direction of Donald M. Reid) Through a series of case studies of French-German friendship societies, this dissertation investigates the ways in which activists in France and Germany battled the dominant strains of nationalism to overcome their traditional antagonism. It asks how the Germans and the French recast their relationship as “hereditary enemies” to enable them to become partners at the heart of today’s Europe. Looking to the transformative power of civic activism, it examines how journalists, intellectuals, students, industrialists, and priests developed associations and lobbying groups to reconfigure the French-German dynamic through cultural exchanges, bilingual or binational journals, conferences, lectures, exhibits, and charitable ventures. As a study of transnational cultural relations, this dissertation focuses on individual mediators along with the networks and institutions they developed; it also explores the history of the idea of cooperation. Attempts at rapprochement in the interwar period proved remarkably resilient in the face of the prevalent nationalist spirit. While failing to override hostilities and sustain peace, the campaign for cooperation adopted a new face in the misguided shape of collaborationism during the Second World War.

  • Emanuel J. Mickel Ganelon After Oxford the Conflict Between Roland
    Emanuel J. Mickel Ganelon After Oxford The conflict between Roland and Ganelon and the subsequent trial form an important part of the Chanson de Roland. How one looks at the trial and Ganelon's role in the text bears significantly on one's interpretation of the epic. While most critics acknowledge that Roland is the hero of the chanson and Ganelon the traitor, many, perhaps a majority, find flaws in Roland's character or conduct and accept the argument that Ganelon had some justification for his actions in the eyes of Charlemagne's barons and, perhaps, in the view of the medieval audience. Roland, of course, is blamed for desmesure and Ganelon is justified by the argument that his open defiance of Roland and the peers in the council scene gave him the right, according to the ancient Germanic ethical and legal code, to take vengeance on his declared adversaries. Proponents of this thesis allege that the Chanson de Roland, a text which they date to the eleventh century, reflects a growing tension and conflict between the powerful feudal barons and the growing power of the monarchy.1 The barons represent the traditions and custom law of a decentralized state where the king is primus inter pares, but essentially a baron like themselves. As the French monarchy grew in strength and was bolstered in a theoretical sense by the centralizing themes of Roman law, conflict between the crown and the nobility became apparent.2 1 For specific analysis of the trial in terms of allegedly older Germanic tradition, see Ruggero Ruggieri, Il Processo di Gano nella Chanson de Roland (Firenze: Sansoni, 1936); also George F.

  • The Germanists and the Historical School of Law: German Legal Science Between Romanticism, Realism, and Rationalization

In my view the School constitutes not only a method for develop- ing norms of private law out of the historical materials of Roman and German-Germanic laws, but is based on a wider conception of culture, law and history that is also connected to the political positions of that time. In Savigny’s founding pam- phlet, »The vocation of our time ...«, two major theoretical topics for this long-lasting influence can be found: The Romantic one, which views law as a part of culture and parallel to language and cus- tom, based on the »spirit of the people«, and, on the other side, the rationality of the European tradition of Roman law, which was developed and administered by jurists.These two basic points, in part standing in contradiction to one another, form a fertile tension that provides an impulse to the intellectual discussions and new movements in jurisprudence and history analysed in the text.

PLACES OF INNOVATION AND EXCHANGE The Extra-University Institutions for Historical Research Emmanuelle Picard and Gabriele Lingelbach In the majority of European countries, universities have occupied a central position in the development of history as a discipline. However, over the past two centuries a certain number of non-university institutions have appeared and have become active poles of historical research. Their development, sometimes on the fringes of the institutional university world, fulfils specific functions, principal among which is proposing a modus operandi alternative to the less innovative approach found in universities and subject to the weight of tradition. From this point of view, the non-university institutions can be characterized as having greater reactivity and adaptability, as well as increased flexibility.

  • 1 Convergence and the Colonization of Custom in Pre-Modern Europe
    Draft: Please Do Not Cite or Quote Convergence and the Colonization of Custom in Pre-Modern Europe Emily Kadens European legal scholars have in recent decades been attracted to the idea of the convergence of the legal systems of the countries within the European Union. Borrowing a phrase from the distant past, they speak of a new ius commune, or common law shared by all member states.1 In their ideal, the unified law would be a neutral distillation of the region’s major legal traditions, though in actuality the law they envision follows the continental civil law approach, while leaving the apparently non-compatible English common law by the wayside.2 This convergence, scholars claim, could occur through unified codes and legislation perhaps, but more happily through voluntary mechanisms such as the diffusion of a new “European” legal mentality in law schools and legal scholarship, the drafting of model principles of law, and the competition among states borne of the ability of individuals and entities to vote with their feet and demonstrate their preference for the set of national rules they most prefer.3 1 See, e.g., Reinhard Zimmermann, Das römisch-kanonische ius commune als Grundlage europäischer Rechtseinheit, 47 JURISTENZEITUNG 10 (1992). 2 Christian Von Bar & C.
