NEWS: ERC Consolidator Grant for Professor Stefania Gialdroni (Roma Tre)
(Source: Venetian Cat)
We learned
that Professor Stefania Gialdroni received an ERC Consolidator Grant for her
project “Migrating Commercial Law and Language. Rethinking Lex Mercatoria
(11th-17th Century)”. The full list of ERC Consolidator Grants can be found here:
https://erc.europa.eu/news/CoG-recipients-2020. Also
see the Twitter hashtag #ERCCoG. Many congratulations to Professor Gialdroni!
Professor Gialdroni’s project
Title: Migrating Commercial Law and Language. Rethinking Lex Mercatoria (11th-17th Century)
Acronym: MICOLL
Description:
MICOLL will analyze the development
of commercial law by means of a tool almost ignored in this field: historical
linguistics. The borrowing and transfer of legal terms will be carried out
through a comprehensive and systematic investigation of medieval and early
modern legal sources, in particular commercial letters, contracts and statutes.
Even though legal
historians tend to deny the effectiveness of a body of customary laws uniformly
adopted across medieval and modern Europe, the “myth” of the ancient lex mercatoria continues to provide
historical legitimacy to the supporters of corporate self-regulation. According
to a widespread historiographical topos, merchants all over the
world “spoke the same language” when it came to what was important for them: to
make profits. As legal institutions are represented by technical legal words,
an analysis of the terms merchants actually used is a powerful and never
attempted way to verify the impact of merchants’
migrations on the development of commercial law, which had, in its turn,
tremendous effects on social and economic history.
The center of this project will be Venice, for several centuries the mandatory stop for merchandise coming from the East and directed both to northern Europe and to Genoa, from where men and goods would reach other trading centers (e.g., France and the Iberian peninsula). Our time-frame spans from the “commercial revolution” of the 11th century to the beginning of the modern period, when the new dynamics of transoceanic trade left Venice at the periphery of a world that was changing its very dimensions.
Profile
Stefania Gialdroni is currently Assistant Professor in Medieval and Modern Legal History at the RomaTre University Law Department, where she teaches Medieval and Modern Legal History and The Legal Protection of Cultural Heritage.
She studied Law at the RomaTre University (JD equivalent) and she obtained a PhD both from

Sociales (Paris), within the framework of the Marie Curie, 6th Framework Program of the European Commission (Doctorate
in European Legal Cultures). As a PhD student she spent one year at the
Max-Planck-Institut für europäische Rechtsgeschichte in Frankfurt a. M., one

was post-doc research fellow at Arcadia University (The College of Global
Studies, Rome Center), the University of Roma Tre, the University of Palermo
and the University of Helsinki. She is the author of several articles on the
history of commercial law and on “Law and the Humanities”. In 2011 she
published the monograph “East India Company. Una storia giuridica (1600-1708)”
(Bologna: Il Mulino) and in 2019 she co-edited the book “Migrating Words,
Migrating Merchants, Migrating Law. Trading Routes and the Development of
Commercial Law” (Leiden/Boston: Brill).

Book abstract:
The development of European peace processes is as characteristic of early modernity as the ubiquity of military conflict: over 2,000 international or domestic peace treaties were concluded in this era. This handbook presents the most recent findings of international research on political and societal peace orders, peace concepts and practices, along with the cultures of peace in the early modern period.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Collana: IusRegni. Collana di Storia del diritto medievale, moderno e contemporaneo - vol. no. 11
Soltanto nell’ultimo trentennio il giurista napoletano Gaspare Capone (1767-1849) è stato oggetto di un rinnovato interesse da parte degli storici del diritto, anche se va rilevata l’assenza di una approfondita analisi sistematica intorno a questa peculiare figura di studioso e giurista pratico, al servizio della Corona. Muovendo dal positivo giudizio formulato dai posteri più immediati, si è cercato di tratteggiare un suo profilo biografico sul piano politico e intellettuale, il che ha implicato una analisi rinnovata dei fondamentali ideologici e contenutistici della sua opera più importante, ossia il Discorso sopra la storia delle leggi patrie. L’esame della figura di Capone ha permesso altresì di riconsiderare dei dibattiti nei quali egli fu attivamente coinvolto in qualità di Consultore del Regno, fra i quali il tentato ripristino della procedura di terza istanza nota come ‘doppia conforme’ e la riforma, introdotta nel 1827, del sistema di remunerazione.

(Source: CUP)
ABOUT THE BOOK
Judicial debates on the regulation of religion in post-colonial India have been characterised by the inability of courts to identify religion as a governable phenomenon. This book investigates the identification and regulation of religion through an intellectual history of law's creation of religion from the colonial to the post-colonial. Moving beyond conventional explanations on the failure of secularism and the secular state, it argues that the impasse in the legal regulation of religion lies in the methodologies and frameworks used by British colonial administrators in identifying and governing religion. Drawing on insights from post-colonial theory and religious studies, it demonstrates the role of secular legal reasoning in the background of Western intellectual history and Christian theology through an illustration of the place of worship. It is a contribution to South Asian legal history and sociolegal studies analysing court archives, colonial narratives and legislative documents.
