  1. Justice et gouvernement dans l'Église d'après les Lettres de saint Grégoire le Grand

    Pertin, Jacques-Yves
    Paris : Harmattan, c2015.

    "Le Pontificat de saint Grégoire Ier (590-604) pape connu à juste titre sous le nom de Grégoire le Grand est considéré comme étant une époque charnière pour l'histoire de l'Église : entre Antiquité et Moyen-Age. Les Lettres (ou Registrum Epistularum), sauvées miraculeusement de la destruction par les collections canoniques, offrent un aperçu unique du gouvernement de l'Église au VIe siècle. Le présent volume, dans une perspective inédite d'étude des sources du Droit canonique, s'efforce de dégager l'idéal de justice dont elles sont imprégnées en reconstituant les motivations juridiques qui ont présidé aux décisions de ce pontificat. Cette analyse voudrait au travers de cette "jurisprudence grégorienne", encore loin de la formalisation du droit canonique tel que nous le connaissons aujourd'hui, reproposer le thème de la justice dans l'Église, non sous l'aspect réducteur d'un ensemble de lois mais bien comme étant "ce qui est juste" dans l'Église."--P. [4] of cover.

  2. The history of courts and procedure in medieval Canon law

    Washington, D.C. : The Catholic University of America Press, 2016.

    "Understanding the rules of procedure and the practices of medieval and early modern courts is of great importance for historians of every stripe. The authors and editors of this volume present readers with a description of court procedure, the sources for investigating the work of the courts, the jurisprudence and the norms that regulated the courts, as well as a survey of the variety of courts that populated the European landscape. Not least, the authors wish to show the relationship between the jurisprudence that governed judicial procedure and what happened in the court room. By the end of the thirteenth century, court procedure in continental Europe in secular and ecclesiastical courts shared many characteristics. As the academic jurists of the Ius commune began to excavate the norms of procedure from Justinian's great codification of law and then to expound them in the classroom and in their writings, they shaped the structure of ecclesiastical courts and secular courts as well. These essays also illuminate striking differences in the sources that we find in different parts of Europe. In northern Europe the archives are rich but do not always provide the details we need to understand a particular case. In Italy and Southern France the documentation is more detailed than in other parts of Europe but here too the historical records do not answer every question we might pose to them. In Spain, detailed documentation is strangely lacking, if not altogether absent. Iberian conciliar canons and tracts on procedure tell us much about practice in Spanish courts. As these essays demonstrate, scholars who want to peer into the medieval courtroom, must also read letters, papal decretals, chronicles, conciliar canons, and consilia to provide a nuanced and complete picture of what happened in medieval trials. This volume will give sophisticated guidance to all readers with an interest in European law and courts."--Understanding the rules of procedure and the practices of medieval and early modern courts is of great importance for historians of every stripe.
