Cambridge
University Press has published a new book on ecclesiastical lawyers in English
courts.
ABOUT THE
BOOK
Historians
of the English legal profession have written comparatively little about the
lawyers who served in the courts of the Church. This volume fills a gap; it
investigates the law by which they were governed and discusses their careers in
legal practice. Using sources drawn from the Roman and canon laws and also from
manuscripts found in local archives, R. H. Helmholz brings together previously
published work and new evidence about the professional careers of these men.
His book covers the careers of many lesser known ecclesiastical lawyers,
dealing with their education in law, their reaction to the coming of the
Reformation, and their relationship with English common lawyers on the eve of
the Civil War. Making connections with the European ius commune, this volume
will be of special interest to English and Continental legal historians, as
well as to students of the relationship between law and religion.
- Provides detailed accounts of
the careers and learning of individual lawyers
- Presents a different (and more
optimistic) account of the collective work of the English civilians
- Discusses connections with
Roman and canon law
