Students of canon law learn that maxim early on in their studies. No modern scholar has ever doubted that Roman law was crucial for the development and understanding of medieval canon law. At the dawn of jurisprudence in the twelfth century, however, the Church’s attitude towards Roman law in particular and secular law in general was not always positive. Pope Innocent II thought the study of law was inappropriate for the religious clergy, monks, and canons regular, and he promulgated Prava autem consuetudo at the Second Lateran Council in 1123 in which he forbade the religious to study law. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux famously complained to Pope Eugenius III about the pernicious effect of law on the papal curia. Nevertheless, the papal curia understood the importance of Roman jurisprudence for canon law.

This implies that matters discussed by one author may at times also be taken up by another. In this regard, readers are assisted by a general index. All essays circle around the function of the medieval Western Church as a local arbiter or judge in local litigations. In the time period in question (1140 to 1500) this function of the Church was fulfilled relatively homogeneously in all geographical regions of Western Christianity. The uniformity is owing to the endeavour of the reform popes, from 1049 onward, who had set a broad homogenisation of the Western church in motion. The editors have wisely abstained from considering litigation which directly took place at the Holy See (thus before papal auditors, etc.). This would have needed much additional space, and it was not urgent, anyway, because sources and literature of direct litigation in the papal curia are sufficiently described elsewhere and commented on. The contributors have furthermore restricted the topic ‘inquisition into heresy’ to a few scant mentions—likewise for good reasons. Respective publications are extremely numerous.

From Bologna the new legal method that the Bolognese professors developed spread all over western Europe, leading directly to the codifications of the nineteenth century. The development of Romano-canonical procedure over the course of the twelfth century, a development that seems to have begun with a letter by Bulgarus, one of the ‘four doctors’ who are thought to have succeeded Irnerius as teachers of Roman law at Bologna, provided considerable support for the story. This development is strongly supported by contemporary evidence, a number of ‘ordines iudiciarii’, treatises that describe the entire course of a lawsuit, and a number that deal with some aspect of the procedure, such as testimony by witnesses. Although there were always those who had their doubts about the traditional understanding, it is, I think, fair to say that the last twenty years have seen work that makes the traditional story no longer tenable as it was originally formulated.

Thirteen years later, bishops from across Christendom convened at Nicaea under the emperor’s aegis. As a robust conciliar tradition emerged, Peter’s successors awaited the institutional and bureaucratic developments befitting their central position in the empire. A great part of these accrued during the reign of Theodosius. The edict Cunctos populos, promulgated at Thessalonica on 28 February 380, bound Roman subjects to profess the faith proclaimed by the bishops of Rome and Alexandria, formally enforcing Nicene orthodoxy. The preceding years had seen legislation establishing procedural rules for ecclesiastical courts, freeing Christian clergy from public service and taxation, and proscribing heresy. These measures coincided with the pontificate of Pope Damasus I (d. 384), who brought to bear a corresponding insistence on the authority and the dignity of his office. Among other things, he articulated a vision of Roman primacy that circumvented the rival claims of other sees by drawing on Jesus’s familiar statement to Peter in the Gospel of Matthew: ‘Upon this rock I will build my church. . . And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven’ (Matt. 16:16-18).","PeriodicalId":40554,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Medieval Canon Law-New Series","volume":"34 1","pages":"313 - 326"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/BMC.2017.0012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45785936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
