The Centre for Ius Commune has been established
at Adam Mickiewicz University to implement the ERC Starting Grant PetrIUS:
Petrification of ius commune through printed paratexts led by Piotr
Alexandrowicz. The project aims to trace the origins, evolution, and
consolidation of marginalia (paratexts) added to printed editions of the Roman
and canon law sources. By examining their variations and significance, the
project will demonstrate how paratexts shaped the interpretation of Roman and
canon law in the early modern period and determine whether the printed
marginalia influenced the legal education and practice. More information on the
project can be found here: link.
The Centre will also host events related to
ongoing research and to broader topics concerning late medieval and early
modern ius commune. In the first meeting Piotr Alexandrowicz will talk
in general about the project and the first observations on the development of
canon law printed paratexts. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, 24.02.2026 at
11 am CEST. It will be organised in a hybrid format; to join online use the
link to the MS Teams: link.
The Centre welcomes collaboration with scholars
working on late medieval and early modern ius commune. If you want to
learn more about the Centre or contact the Centre do not hesitate to email the
team members Piotr Alexandrowicz (piotr.alexandrowicz@amu.edu.pl) or Matthew Cleary (matthew.cleary@amu.edu.pl).
