Introduction
Introduction FREDERIK PEDERSEN European society underwent fundamental changes during the millennium from 500 AD to 1500 AD. Ideas and practices of marriage differed in fundamental ways between the start and the end of the period. The Roman Empire and its successor states exhibited a multitude of kinship relations and household organizations, some based around a slave economy, others around polygamous marriages. Some allowed marriage partners to dissolve their marriages and others prohibited it. However, by 1500, throughout Europe, the basic family unit could be expected to be organized around a voluntary, monogamous, and lifelong conjugal unit, not only in Christian society, but also among Europe’s Jews. This cultural unity stretched from the farthest north to the Mediterranean and beyond, and it was the result of a multitude of factors. Some developments were caused by changes in relations of production, some were stimulated by theological discussions, and still others came about because of political considerations as kings, nobility and prelates discussed, challenged and refined the institution of marriage and its consequences. The interpretation of marriage in medieval Christian theology (which provided the ideological underpinnings of marriage legislation across Europe) differs profoundly from other cultures and religions in its insistence that marriage was not only a social, secular reality, but also a symbolic recreation of God’s relationship with His Church. For medieval Christians, marriage became a reflection of Christ’s union with the Church, and this interpretation provided the ideological foundations for marriage as exclusive, life-long, and indissoluble.1 Although this interpretation of human sexuality meant that marriage was an integral part of Christianity from the 2 beginning, the Church only decisively took on marriage law during a relatively short period between the eleventh and early thirteenth centuries. -
The German Civil Code
TUE A ERICANI LAW REGISTER FOUNDED 1852. UNIERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPART=ENT OF LAW VOL. {4 0 - S'I DECEMBER, 1902. No. 12. THE GERMAN CIVIL CODE. (Das Biirgerliche Gesetzbuch.) SOURCES-PREPARATION-ADOPTION. The magnitude of an attempt to codify the German civil. laws can be adequately appreciated only by remembering that for more than fifteefn centuries central Europe was the world's arena for startling political changes radically involv- ing territorial boundaries and of necessity affecting private as well as public law. With no thought of presenting new data, but that the reader may properly marshall events for an accurate compre- hension of the irregular development of the law into the modem and concrete results, it is necessary to call attention to some of the political- and social factors which have been potent and conspicuous since the eighth century. Notwithstanding the boast of Charles the Great that he was both master of Europe and the chosen pr6pagandist of Christianity and despite his efforts in urging general accept- ance of the Roman law, which the Latinized Celts of the western and southern parts of his titular domain had orig- THE GERM AN CIVIL CODE. inally been forced to receive and later had willingly retained, upon none of those three points did the facts sustain his van- ity. He was constrained to recognize that beyond the Rhine there were great tribes, anciently nomadic, but for some cen- turies become agricultural when not engaged in their normal and chief occupation, war, who were by no means under his control. His missii or special commissioners to those people were not well received and his laws were not much respected. -

A Brief History of Coptic Personal Status Law Ryan Rowberry John Khalil* INTRODUCTION With the U.S.-led "War on Terror" and the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, American legal scholars have understandably focused increased attention on the various schools and applications of Islamic law in Middle Eastern countries. 1 This focus on Shari'a law, however, has tended to elide the complexity of traditional legal pluralism in many Islamic nations. Numerous Christian communities across the Middle East (e.g., Syrian, Armenian, Coptic, Nestorian, Maronite), for example, adhere to personal status laws that are not based on Islamic legal principles. Christian minority groups form the largest non-Muslim . Ryan Rowberry and Jolin Khalil graduated from Harvard Law School in 2008.

On the Tyrant
Bartolus of Saxoferrato On the Tyrant Translated from: Diego Quaglioni, ed. 1983. Politica e diritto nel Trecento italiano.

Florence: Leo S. Olschki Editore, 175–213.1 [1] Because2 I have already laboured for a long time over many tracts, deal- ing with the sweetest materials, which render body, heart, and soul entirely mellifluous (saporosam), I am so full of a sweet taste that I have dared not ap- proach the harshnesses, the difficulties, and the tribulations, especially since I see that tyrannical perfidy is extending its strength. Still, having trusted in 3 the protection of that mercy, which makes eloquent the tongues of infants—nay, Sap. 10:21 4 even makes them shine openly for the nations, I do dare take up (with the cf. Ex. 40:33; Ps. 76:19; help of divine aid) the so severe and horrendous subject matter of tyrannical Ps. 143:6 depravity, not so that I derive any joy or solace from it, but so that all are able to rid themselves completely of the tie and noose of that horrendous wickedness, namely, tyrannical servitude; from this austere and immoderate magisterium God delivers (liberet) us; he conserves us in our own holy, good, and perfect tranquility; ⟦and⟧ he makes us be found (colletari) in the sweetness of liberty. 1.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Michael McCormick Ryan Hayes Wilkinson The Last Horizons of Roman Gaul: Communication, Community, and Power at the End of Antiquity Abstract In the fifth and sixth centuries CE, the Roman Empire fragmented, along with its network of political, cultural, and socio-economic connections. How did that network’s collapse reshape the social and mental horizons of communities in one part of the Roman world, now eastern France? Did new political frontiers between barbarian kingdoms redirect those communities’ external connections, and if so, how? To address these questions, this dissertation focuses on the cities of two Gallo-Roman tribal groups. -

Stuart add en^ Preparation of the Code of Justinian, one part of a three-part presentation of Roman law published over the three-year period from 533 -535 A.D, had not been stymied by the occupation of Rome by the Rugians and the Ostrogoths. In most ways these occupations worked no material hardship on the empire, either militarily or civilly. The occupying Goths and their Roman counterparts developed symbiotic legal and social relationships, and in several instances, the new Germanic rulers sought and received approval of their rule both from the Western Empire, seated in Constantinople, and the Pope. Rugian Odoacer and Ostrogoth Theodoric each, in fact, claimed respect for Roman law, and the latter ruler held the Roman title patricius et magister rnilitum. In sum, the Rugians and the Ostrogoths were content to absorb much of Roman law, and to work only such modifications as were propitious in the light of centuries of Gothic customary law. -
Q. 100: Irreligion: Simony
QUESTION 100 Irreligion: Simony Next we have to consider simony (simonia). And on this topic there are six questions: (1) What is simony? (2) Is it licit to accept money for the sacraments? (3) Is it licit to accept money for spiritual acts? (4) Is it licit to sell things that are connected with what is spiritual? (5) Is it only a ‘favor by the hand’ (munus a manu) that makes for simony, or also a ‘favor by the tongue’ (munus a lingua) and a ‘favor by allegiance’ (munus ab obsequio)? (6) What about the punishment for one who commits simony? Article 1 Is simony “an eager willingness to sell and to buy something spiritual or something connected with what is spiritual”? It seems that simony is not “an eager willingness to sell and to buy something spiritual or something connected with what is spiritual” (simonia non sit studiosa voluntas emendi et vendendi aliquid spirituale vel spirituali annexum) [Legal Experts]: Objection 1: Simony is a certain heresy, since Decretals 1, q. 1 says, “The impious heresy of Macedonius and of those who with him impugn the Holy Spirit is more tolerable than that of those who are guilty of simony. For in their ravings the former claim that the Holy Spirit is a creature and the slave of God the Father and God the Son, whereas the latter make the same Holy Spirit their own slave. For every owner (dominus) sells what he owns if he wants to, whether it be his slave or any other thing that he possesses.” But as is clear from what was said above (q. -
Police Science As a Source of Modern Administrative Sciences
Teka Komisji Prawniczej PAN Oddział w Lublinie, t. XII, 2019, nr 2, s. 327–336 https://doi.org/10.32084/tekapr.2019.12.2-25 POLICE SCIENCE AS A SOURCE OF MODERN ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCES Grzegorz Smyk, hab. Ph.D., University Professor Department of History of State and Law, Faculty of Law and Administration at the Maria Curie–Skłodowska University in Lublin e-mail: [email protected]; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0143-4233 Summary. It was the science of police (Ger. Polizeiwissenschaft) that first endeavoured to offer a comprehensive understanding of the organisation and operation of public administra- tion. It stemmed from the cameralist doctrine which combined, in addition to administrative management, a broad and not-at-all systemic set of knowledge of economics, finance, statistics, demography, economic policy of the state, and even philosophy. While cameralism mainly put emphasis on economics and approached administrative issues only as a means of efficient fiscal and economic administration of the state, police science, which was under the influence of the law of nature, addressed the development of a system of methods and measures employed to shape the structure of public administration in the modern state. Key words: police science, administration, administrative law The arrival of modern administrative science was intertwined with the sys- temic transformation of the state ruled by public law that occurred in the 18th century under the influence of Enlightenment philosophy. The transformation processes were triggered by the crisis of the social, economic and organisa- tional framework of the feudal state, which caused all these areas of human activity to go through reforms aimed, in particular, to create a new, well-oiled state apparatus.
