Quotational Practice in Two Bilingual Treatises on Love by Gérard of Liège
Cum dicit auctoritas: Quotational Practice in Two Bilingual Treatises on Love by Gérard of Liège Adham B. Azab Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Adham B. Azab All rights reserved Abstract Cum dicit auctoritas: Quotational Practice in Two Bilingual Treatises on Love by Gérard of Liège Adham B. Azab “Cum dicit auctoritas: Quotational Practice in Two Bilingual Treatises on Love by Gérard of Liège” is the first dedicated study of two oft discussed and poorly understood thirteenth-century love treatises known mainly for their unusual, syntactically integrated mixture of Latin and Old French. In addition to providing the first complete translation into any modern language of the treatises—Septem remedia contra amorem illicitum valde utilia (Seven Very Useful Remedies for Illicit Love) and De divino amore (On Divine Love, formerly Quinque incitamenta ad Deum amandum ardenter)—this dissertation aims to shed light upon Gérard’s practice of quotation, particularly as it pertains to the construction of authority. Each chapter takes a particular category of quotation as its subject, and shows not only how that category functions within Gérard’s treatises, but also how it may inform current scholarship in medieval studies. The first chapter contains the translation of both treatises. In the second chapter, “The Poetic Practice of Gérard of Liège in De divino amore,” I reexamine the Old French refrain corpus in light of what I call Gérard’s “refraining”—a poetic and quotational practice that bridges the sacred-profane divide in his treatise De divino amore. -

Se trataba más bien de un procedimiento ilegal y rupturista respecto a la tradición republicana, promovido como solución final por los optimates tardorrepublicanos, y como tal impugnado y contestado por amplios sectores de la sociedad romana. ABSTRACT The purpose is to question that there was acceptance of tyrannicide as legitimate punishment. It was more of an illegal procedure and break with republican tradition, promoted as the ultimate solution for the optimates tardorrepublicanos, and as such challenged and contested by large segments of Roman society PALABRAS CLAVES República romana – Tiranicidio – Historiografía - Cicerón KEY WORDS Roman Republic – Tyrannicide - Historiography - Cicero “Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind” George Orwell, Politics and the English Language, 1946 Se acepta como una verdad adquirida en la historiografía que se ocupa de la República romana, que los romanos consideraban legítimo el uso de la violencia contra aquellos políticos que fueran acusados de aspirar a la tiranía. Se trataría de una tradición consustancial a la misma República desde el momento en que había sido abolida la monarquía tras la expulsión del tirano Tarquinio el Soberbio. -
Occupation and Acquisitive Prescription
The European Journal of International Law Vol. 16 no.1 © EJIL 2005; all rights reserved ........................................................................................... Argument from Roman Law in Current International Law: Occupation and Acquisitive Prescription Randall Lesaffer* Abstract In his Private Law Sources and Analogies of International Law (1927), Hersch Lauterpacht claimed that many rules and concepts of international law stemmed from private law. He also showed that it was common practice in international adjudication and arbitration to look for inspiration there. The rules of private law that had found their way to international law were often common to the great municipal law systems. Many had their origins in Roman private law. This article examines whether and how the International Court of Justice has made use of Roman law rules and concepts. Roman law can be thought to fulfil its role as a source of inspiration for international law in three ways. First, it might have served as a direct historical source during the formative period of the modern law of nations. Second, it might have served as an indirect historical source because of its enduring impact on the great municipal law systems afterwards. Thirdly, it might still be considered ratio scripta, the expression of a timeless and universal law. For the purpose of examining which of these roles Roman law plays in the eyes of the ICJ, the analysis is restricted to two examples of private law analogies: occupation of terra nullius and acquisitive prescription. 1 Introduction The Law of Nations is but private law ‘writ large’. It is an application to political communities of those legal ideas which were originally applied to relations between individuals.1 * Professor of Legal History, Tilburg University; Professor of Law, Catholic University of Leuven. -

I examine the instances of otium in Cicero, Catullus, and Sallust to reconstruct the discourses that influenced their usages of the term, and to shed light on how elite Roman men were adjusting to their shrinking access to the political sphere as a small number of men gained power. To perform this analysis, I rely on discourse theory and leisure studies. I have identified six main usages of otium in their writings: otium as free time; otium as peace, or time without disturbance; otium as opposite public business; otium as time for textual creation; otium as time for study; and cum dignitate otium. -

LAW SECTION 2 Structure of the Institutes Christianity (Cont’D) the ‘Barbarian Invasions’
OUTLINE — LAW SECTION 2 Structure of the Institutes Christianity (cont’d) The ‘Barbarian Invasions’ The following set of schematics for Justinian’s Institutes is obviously quite elaborate. Learning this scheme and its terminology will repay itself handsomely, not only for this course or any future work that you might do in legal history, but also for modern European law. Much of this terminology is still with us today. I do not, however, want to spend the whole section (or even half of it) focusing on the details of this scheme. Please feel free to ask questions about any of it that puzzles you. Our focus, however, will be on the basic categories: ius vs. lex; public law vs. private; persons, things, and actions; individual things, things in the aggregate, and obligations; contract and delict. The more we think about these distinctions, the more puzzling they are; yet they have shaped legal thought in the west for centuries. Then I would like to go on to look at the legacy of Roman law on our specific topics: marriage, wild animals, and witnesses.

VerSteeg: Law and Justice in Caesar's Gallic Wars LAW AND JUSTICE IN CAESAR'S GALLIC WARS Russ VerSteeg* INTRODUCTION Historians have written so much about Julius Caesar that it may strike one as presumptuous to propose to add anything of value that is novel today. The present study has a rather limited scope. My method has been to focus on Caesar's own writing. In particular, using Caesar's monograph on the Gallic Wars, De Bello Gallico, as a basis, this article attempts to gain some insight into his thinking about law.' We know that Caesar had a great deal of practical experience in law. He studied law, pled a number of cases in the Roman law courts, and held several positions that required him to apply legal principles.2 In addition, legal questions significantly affected Caesar's political life and his most important political decisions. -
The Definition of Public Space in Republican Rome by Amy Russell
The Definition of Public Space in Republican Rome By Amy Russell A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology and the Designated Emphasis in Gender and Women’s Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Erich S. Gruen, Chair Professor Carlos F. Noreña Professor Mark Griffith Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill Spring 2011 © Copyright by Amy Russell 2011 All Rights Reserved Abstract The Definition of Public Space in Republican Rome by Amy Russell Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology and the Designated Emphasis in Gender and Women’s Studies Professor Erich S. Gruen, Chair This dissertation uses a combination of literary and archeological evidence to ask how Romans understood and defined public space in Rome during the Republic. The definition of concepts of ‘public’ and ‘private’ in Roman culture differed from that current in modern Western discourse, but just like modern definitions, it was ambiguous and manipulable. Taking public space as a starting-point offers new insights into the Roman concepts, and a behavioural approach, aided by insights from space syntax theory, allows for a partial reconstruction of the diversity of spatial experience in the city. Traditionally, lack of behavioural control has been associated with private space, but for the majority of the population, who were not householders, it was public spaces which were characterised by greater freedom of access and behaviour. Public space was not a monolith, but offered a variety of spatial experiences and was experienced differently by different groups.
