University of Toronto Press is
publishing a new text collection on the learned law in medieval Italian
jurisprudence.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Jurists and Jurisprudence in
Medieval Italy is an original collection of texts exemplifying
medieval Italian jurisprudence, known as the ius commune.
Translated for the first time into English, many of the texts exist only in
early printed editions and manuscripts. Featuring commentaries by leading
medieval civil law jurists, notably Azo Portius, Accursius, Albertus Gandinus,
Bartolus of Sassoferrato, and Baldus de Ubaldis, this book covers a wide range
of topics, including how to teach and study law, the production of legal texts,
the ethical norms guiding practitioners, civil and criminal procedures, and
family matters.
The translations, together with
context-setting introductions, highlight fundamental legal concepts and
practices and the milieu in which jurists operated. They offer entry points for
exploring perennial subjects such as the professionalization of lawyers, the
tangled relationship between law and morality, the role of gender in the
socio-legal order, and the extent to which the ius commune can
be considered an autonomous system of law.
