Through a reading of Faust and the Wahlverwandtschaften, this dissertation shows that the two components of legal advancement in Goethe’s mind were narrative and gränzunbewußte arbitration [arbitration unconscious of borders]. Narratives shape the way we think, and thus affect laws and legal outcomes. As the legal significance of borders diminishes – as the legal order becomes more gränzunbewußt – narratives cross borders more easily, and their effect becomes more global. A focus on legal advancement in Goethe’s works opens a novel understanding of them. For instance, it is unclear whether Gretchen killed her child – even though she has become one of literature’s most famous child-killers. The evidence against her consists merely of contradictory narratives. The dominant narrative of infanticide in Goethe’s time dictated that only the mother could kill the child, and that is why Gretchen has been deemed guilty. The resolution of the pact between Faust and Mephistopheles can also be understood in a novel way. Mephisto’s defeat has been understood with reference to the terms of the written pact. However, it is better understood in terms of the legal advancement that has taken place since Faust I: in the gränzunbewußte legal order at the end of Faust II, Mephisto’s pact to claim Faust’s soul is no longer enforceable. The tragic ending of the Wahlverwandtschaften can be seen as the failure of legal advancement to materialize – for divorce fails to occur in spite of the fact that it has become legally possible – because the right narratives are missing, and the legal order is not gränzunbewußt. iii Acknowledgement I am deeply grateful to my dissertation advisor, Professor Burgard, for his guidance throughout the challenging process of writing this dissertation. I am also deeply grateful to Professors Katharina Pistor and Gordon Teskey, members of the dissertation committee, for kindly pushing me to think more deeply about Goethe and the law. iv Dedication To my parents, who started my narrative without borders. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ............................................................................................................. iii Acknowledgement ............................................................................................. iv Dedication............................................................................................................v Note on citations and translations ................................................................................ viii Introduction .....................................................................................................................1 Part I.

  • How Did the Romans Really Crucify Jesus? Richard Binder, September 27, 2020 (Edited March 14, 2021)
    How Did the Romans Really Crucify Jesus? Richard Binder, September 27, 2020 (edited March 14, 2021) This article is the conclusion of a secular exploration of an event that some people devoutly believe happened, while others deny the very existence of its central character. That event, or non-event, was the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. You can find the complete series of articles at this Web address: http://www.richardspens.com/?crux= For nearly two millennia, the method by which Jesus of Nazareth was crucified has been a subject of speculation by Christians, archaeologists, historians, and others whose interest might be based on little or nothing more than curiosity. There exist countless religious paintings, sculptures, and corpora on crucifixes, and there exist also many ancient writings describing crucifixion as practiced by the Romans. This article is an attempt to pull together several applicable threads of information with the purpose of describing without religious bias just how Jesus’ crucifixion was carried out. One thing we can be sure of is that Jesus’ death on the cross did not appear as it is portrayed in depictions intended for veneration by the faithful, typified by the three images shown here—for it was horrifyingly unsuited to that purpose. In this article, I shall refer to works of this type as “traditional” depictions. The Ancona Crucifixion, by Crucifixion from an English A modern Roman Catholic crucifix Titian, 1558 psalter, c. 1225 All three of the above images show nails through Jesus’ palms, one nail holding both feet to the front of the cross, and Jesus wearing a loincloth and hung on a Latin cross.

  • Tolerant Criminal Law of Rome” in the Light of Legal and Rhetorical Sources
    UWM Studia Prawnoustrojowe 25 189 2014 Artyku³y Przemys³aw Kubiak Katedra Prawa Rzymskiego Wydzia³ Prawa i Administracji Uniwersytetu £ódzkiego Some remarks on tolerant criminal law of Rome in the light of legal and rhetorical sources Introduction Roman criminal law, as majority of ancient legal systems, is commonly considered cruel and intolerant. Most of these negative views is based on the fact that the Romans created and used a great variety of painful and severe penalties, very often accompanied by different kinds of torture or disgrace1. Although such opinions derive from legal and literary sources, occasionally in their context a very important factor seems to be missing. Sometimes in the process of evaluation of foreign or historical legal systems researchers make a mistake and use modern standards, both legal and moral, and from this point of view they proclaim their statements. This incorrect attitude may lead to ascertainment that no legal system before 20th century should be judged positively in this aspect. However, the goal of this paper is not to change those statements, as they are based on sources, but rather to give examples and to underline some important achievements of Roman crimi- nal law which, sometimes forgotten or disregarded, should be considered in the process of its historical evaluation. 1 The most cruel are definitely aggravated forms of death penalty, such as crucifixion (crux), burning alive (vivi crematio), throwing to wild animals during the games (damnatio ad bestias), throwing to the sea in a sack with ritual animals (poena cullei). These are the most common, but during the history of Roman empire there existed many other severe kinds of capital punishment, see A.W.

    Praise for MARY MAGDALENE REVEALED “This book is a masterpiece. I haven’t been this excited or awakened by a book for a decade. This is what it looks like when an artist follows her heart and her passion instead of the crowd.” — Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Love Warrior “The evidence within these pages, both scholarly and lived experience, will change you on a cellular level as you remember what has been forgotten for thousands of years, but has never been untrue: that the feminine is sacred and holy. This book is a revolution.” — Kate Northrup, best-selling author of Do Less and Money: A Love Story “Meggan Watterson is a modern-day prophetess who sets souls on fire with her lyrical prose and courageous truth-telling. Her unearthing of the hidden and silenced realities of the first apostle’s life and legacy ignites revelations that will transform the hearts and minds of readers who are ready to claim their own power and spiritual authority.” — Jamia Wilson, author of Step Into Your Power and executive director of The Feminist Press “Mary Magdalene Revealed brings together the exquisite balance of personal experience and the uncovering of spiritual texts that quite simply rock and lovingly challenge the Christianity of the world today. Meggan Watterson is the spiritual teacher to spiritual teachers and this book is a road map to the heart of Christ’s message.” — Kyle Gray, best-selling author of Angel Prayers and Raise Your Vibration “Mary Magdalene Revealed is a masterpiece of theology, feminism, and just plain spiritual goodness.

  • The Judiciary of Diocesan Vicars in the Later Roman Empire
    The Judiciary of Diocesan Vicars in the Later Roman Empire by Jacek Wiewiorowski is the inaugurating volume of a new publishing series of the Faculty of Law and Administration, Adam Mickiewicz Univer- sity in Poznań. This project draws upon the series of works written by the faculty members whose selection appeared in print in the 1950s. At the same time, by being published in English, the series responds to the challenges of contemporary science, in which widespread dis- semination of research is of paramount importance. Thus the series will foster internationalization of the research process and introduce the achievements of Poznań scholars into the international discourse of contemporary jurisprudence. The Judiciary of Diocesan Vicars in the Later Roman Empire 1 2 ADAM MICKIEWICZ UNIVERSITY IN POZNAŃ ADAM MICKIEWICZ UNIVERSITY LAW BOOKS NO 1 JACEK WIEWIOROWSKI The Judiciary of Diocesan Vicars in the Later Roman Empire Translated by Szymon Nowak POZNAŃ 2015 3 ABSTRACT. Wiewiorowski Jacek, The Judiciary of Diocesan Vicars in the Later Roman Empire. Poznań 2015. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. Adam Mickiewicz University Law Books No 1, Pp. 391 + plates. ISBN 978-83-232-2925-4. Text in English. The study focuses on vicars of dioceses (vicarius dioeceseos) of the Later Roman Empire and their judiciary capacity, which occupied one of the principal places in their duties. It is the first attempt to present the issue in scholarly research. The book covers the period from the establishment of dioceses under Diocletian (reigning 284–305) until the final abolishment of vicariates by Justinian I (reigning 527–565) and his further modifications of imperial admin- istration introduced at a supra-provincial level.
