Download or read book The Correctores Romani written by Mary E. Sommar and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2009 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new evaluation of the Editio Romani, the 16th-century edition of the canon law of the Roman Catholic Church, based on manuscript evidence of the committee's daily activities. This edition of the church's law book was the work of the Correctores Romani commission, especially of Miguel ThomÃ?¡s Taxaquet, and was promulgated by Pope Gregory XIII, the former Ugo Buoncompagni, in 1582 and remained in effect until the 20 th century. This study, the first of its kind, reveals the sophisticated scholarly methodology used by these Catholic Humanists and the censorship that led to the loss of some of their greatest insights. Affiliation and research activities: Mary E. Sommar, Ph.D. teaches European History at Millersville University of Pennsylvania. Her research is concentrated on the history of canon law, especially on the work of Gratian of Bologna and the Corpus Iuris Canonici.

Book Pope Innocent II  1130 43

Download or read book Pope Innocent II 1130 43 written by John Doran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pontificate of Innocent II (1130-1143) has long been recognized as a watershed in the history of the papacy, marking the transition from the age of reform to the so-called papal monarchy, when an earlier generation of idealistic reformers gave way to hard-headed pragmatists intent on securing worldly power for the Church. Whilst such a conception may be a cliché its effect has been to concentrate scholarship more on the schism of 1130 and its effects than on Innocent II himself. This volume puts Innocent at the centre, bringing together the authorities in the field to give an overarching view of his pontificate, which was very important in terms of the internationalization of the papacy, the internal development of the Roman Curia, the integrity of the papal state and the governance of the local church, as well as vital to the development of the Kingdom of Sicily and the Empire.

Book Canonical Collections of the Early Middle Ages  ca  400 1140

Download or read book Canonical Collections of the Early Middle Ages ca 400 1140 written by Lotte Kéry and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contains a bibliographical survey of the chronological and systematic canonical collections in the Latin West from the beginnings of Christianity to Gratian's Decretum (ca. 1140). Dr. Kéry not only has compiled a catalogue of early medieval canonistic manuscripts, but has included valuable information about them. For each collection she has described its type and contents, the time and place of compilation, and, when, possible, its author. Full bibliographies have been provided for each collection, arranged in chronological order. Scholars will find her work particularly useful since she has also noted where scholars have differed and where their opinions may be found. Special attention has been paid to the numerous recensions of the collections. She has given a separate entry for important recensions and has lists of fragments and abbreviated forms of the collections.

Book Canon Law in the Age of Reforms  ca  1000 to Ca  1150

Download or read book Canon Law in the Age of Reforms ca 1000 to Ca 1150 written by Christof Rolker and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph addresses the history of canon law in Western Europe between ca. 1000 and ca. 1150, specifically the collections compiled and the councils held in that time. The main part consists of an analysis of all major collections, taking into account their formal and material sources, the social and political context of their origin, the manuscript transmission, and their reception more generally. As most collections are not available in reliable editions, a considerable part of the discussion involves the analysis of medieval manuscripts. Specialized research is available for many but not all these works, but tends to be scattered across miscellaneous publications in English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish; one purpose of the book is thus to provide relatively uniform, up-to-date accounts of all major collections of the period. At the same time, the book argues that the collections are much more directly influenced by the social milieux from which they emerged, and that more groups were involved in the development of high medieval canon law than it has previously been thought. In particular, the book seeks to replace the still widely held belief that the development of canon law in the century before Gratian's Decretum (ca. 1140) was largely driven by the Reform papacy. Instead, it is crucial to take into account the contribution of bishops, monks, and other groups with often conflicting interests. Put briefly, local needs and conflicts played a considerably more important role than central (papal) 'reform', on which older scholarship has largely focused.

Book The Making of Gratian s Decretum

Download or read book The Making of Gratian s Decretum written by Anders Winroth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-11-23 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers perspectives on the legal and intellectual developments of the twelfth century. Gratian's collection of Church law, the Decretum, was a key text in these developments. Compiled in around 1140, it remained a fundamental work throughout and beyond the Middle Ages. Until now, the many mysteries surrounding the creation of the Decretum have remained unsolved, thereby hampering exploration of the jurisprudential renaissance of the twelfth century. Professor Winroth has now discovered the original version of the Decretum, which has long lain unnoticed among medieval manuscripts, in a version about half as long as the final text. It is also different from the final version in many respects - for example, with regard to the use of of Roman law sources - enabling a reconsideration of the resurgence of law in the twelfth century.

Book Pseudo martyr

    Book Details:
  • Author : John Donne
  • Publisher : McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
  • Release : 1993
  • ISBN : 9780773509948
  • Pages : 528 pages

Download or read book Pseudo martyr written by John Donne and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1993 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pseudo-Martyr was Donne's first published work and the only one he wrote as a lawyer. It is also an autobiographical document which reveals how Donne resolved his own lapse from Catholicism so that he could remain loyal to the king. A descendant of Thomas More's sister, Donne had inherited a rich tradition from the Counter-Reformation, which he sought to reconcile with the political absolutes of his day. Anthony Raspa provides a definitive critical edition of this long-neglected work, setting it in its historical context and making the forest of quotations and references given by Donne in the main body of the text and its margins intelligible to the modern reader.

Book Politics in Theology

    Book Details:
  • Author : Gabriel R. Ricci
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2017-07-12
  • ISBN : 1351498274
  • Pages : 195 pages

Download or read book Politics in Theology written by Gabriel R. Ricci and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new volume examines the relationship between religion and politics from a historical perspective. Contributors address specific moments in which political governance intersects with religious ideals in dramatic ways. These moments question the relationship between religious sentiments and political solutions and threaten to reorder the geopolitical landscape. These essays discuss the tensions produced by secularism in an Islamic culture, the influence of Catholic theology in workers' political movements, and how Hinduism has been transformed by the political process. Also featured are essays that emphasize how civil religion coincides with constitutional order, and how the drama of religious tolerance and legitimization of the power of Christian hierarchy originated in the political power of the Roman emperor. This volume is an interdisciplinary effort from up-and-coming and cutting-edge scholars. Contents include: "Something as Yet Unfinished," Adam Stauffer; "Carl Schmitt, Leo Strauss, and the Necessity of Political Theology," Grant N. Havers; "Escape from Theology," Peter Grosvenor; "The Persistence of Civil Religion in Modern Canada," John von Heyking; "The Politicization of Hinduism and the Hinduization of Politics," Jeffery D. Long; "Ontology, Plurality, and Roman Catholic Social Teaching," Roland Boer; "The Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals and Church-State Conflict," Mary Sommar; "Thomas Aquinas on Providence, Prudence, and Natural Law," Christopher S. Morrissey; "The Mystical Body of Christ and French Catholic Action, 1926-1949," W. Brian Newsome; and "Secularism in Turkey," Oya Dursun-Ozkanca.

Book Gratian and the Schools of Law  1140 1234

Download or read book Gratian and the Schools of Law 1140 1234 written by Stephan Kuttner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collected Studies CS1071 The central figure in this volume is that of Gratian, whose monumental compilation of canon law sparked off the revival of legal studies in the medieval West. In other collections of essays, Stephan Kuttner dealt with the development of canon law in the two centuries that followed the publication of Gratian's Decretum, and the ideas that this engendered; here he is concerned with the foundations upon which all these later efforts were based. The work of Gratian is, of course, the principal focus, but the studies then follow the spread of the teaching of law, from its inception at Bologna in the 1140s to its appearance soon after in other centres of learning in the West especially in France, in the Anglo-Norman schools and in Germany. With a quarter of the volume consisting of additional notes and extensive indexes, it makes a contribution of the greatest importance to the historical study of canon law. For this second edition, a new section of additional notes has been supplied, and the volume is introduced with an essay by Peter Landau; these take account of the important recent work on Gratian and the Decretum and chart the significance of Stephan Kuttner's work.

Book Church and Government in the Middle Ages

Download or read book Church and Government in the Middle Ages written by Christopher Robert Cheney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1976-12-30 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Church and government in England and on the continent of Europe between the eleventh and the early fourteenth centuries is the subject of this volume of essays by twelve historians including scholars as well known as C. N. L. Brooke, R. C. van Caenegem, R. Foreville, S. Kuttner and W. Ullmann. Each essay is concerned with a major historical text (such as Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain) or an important type of historical document (such as the writings of a famous civilian, Master Vacarius). The general theme of Church and government in the Middle Ages is illustrated through the eves of different types of officials - among them English royal justices, Norman bishops, and monastic archdeacons - as well of scholars and thinkers who also served the needs of government both lay and ecclesiastical - such as Gratian of Bologna and the hitherto neglected canon lawyer John Baconthorpe.

Book Reconsidering Boccaccio

Download or read book Reconsidering Boccaccio written by Olivia Holmes and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconsidering Boccaccio highlights the great Florentine writer Giovanni Boccaccio’s remarkable achievements in the fourteenth century as a cultural mediator; his exceptional social, geographic, and intellectual range; and the influence of his legacy on numerous cultural networks. Grounded in Boccaccio’s own writings, Reconsidering Boccaccio brings a variety of methodologies and critical approaches to the works of one of the ‘three crowns’ of Italian literature. Containing essays by scholars not only of Italian literature, but also history, law, classics, and Middle Eastern literature, this collection is part of a vital movement to open up a dialogue among researchers in various areas of study that touch on the works of Boccaccio. The volume highlights the necessity of a technical and historical framework when approaching Boccaccio studies, while also shedding new light on the lives of women and their role in the reception of Boccaccio’s works.
