Die Iberische Halbinsel im Mittelalter war durch eine interreligiöse sowie zahlreiche binnen-christliche Grenzziehungen gekennzeichnet. Erstmals vergleicht die vorliegende Studie systematisch die Grenzen des Königreiches Kastilien zu seinen Anrainern Aragón, Navarra, León, Portugal und dem Naṣridenemirat. In raumsoziologischer Perspektive werden die Konstruktionsmechanismen von Herrschaftsgrenzen anhand der kastilischen Vertragsdiplomatie erörtert (ca. 1140 bis 1400). Vertragliche Argumentationen sowie historische und naturräumliche Bezüge zeigen, dass der Faktor der Interreligiosität hinter diplomatische Rahmenbedingen zurücktreten konnte. Die exemplarische Untersuchung lokaler Abgrenzungen, der Regulierung von Konflikten und des Handels an jeweils zwei kastilischen Grenzabschnitten zeigt das Wirkgefüge monarchischer, überregionaler und lokaler Akteure im Grenzregime. Die Arbeit eröffnet ein nuancierteres Verständnis der räumlichen Dimension von Herrschaft und demonstriert, wie einheitlich-religiöse und gemischt-religiöse Abgrenzungsprozesse vergleichend untersucht werden können.
Die Beiträge des Bandes nähern sich dem komplexen Thema um Pilgern, Heil und Heilung aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen: Dabei geht es zunächst um die historischen Erfahrungen, von Wundergeschichten um den hl. Jacobus bis hin zu beispielhaften Pilgerspuren, welche die Suche nach Heil und Heilung verbinden. Hier wird die Verbindung von körperlicher Heilung und seelischem Heil konkret, ebenso wie liturgische Formen Heilssuche und Heilsvermittlung in einem festen religiösen Rahmen wiederfinden lassen. Auch die Gnadenmittel der Kirche werden vorgestellt, die "Heiligen Jahre" und die Frömmigkeitstheologie des späten Mittelalters, die zu Heil und Heilung führen sollten. Die aktuellen Bezüge des Themas werden aus philosophischer Perspektive lebensnah betont, ebenso wie die therapeutische Wirkung des Pilgerns aus medizinischer Sicht beeindruckt. Die Vielfalt von Heilssuche und Heilserwerb im Spannungsfeld von Realität und Imagination erscheint zeitlos und erhält hier deutliche Konturen aus unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Perspektiven.

One of great figures in the field, the Argentinian legal historian Víctor Tau Anzoátegui, published in 1997 his Nuevos horizontes en el estudio histórico del derecho indiano. The book, in which Tau addressed seminal methodological questions setting tone for the discipline’s future orientation, proved to be the starting point for an important renewal of the discipline. Tau drew on the writings of legal historians, such as Paolo Grossi, Antonio Manuel Hespanha, and Bartolomé Clavero. Tau emphasized t...

Despite the fact that it seems to represent an issue directly connected with the question of where legal history is heading today, it still has not been the object of a focused inquiry. Against this background, the book’s proposal consists in rethinking key confluences related to this problem in order to provide coordinates for a collective understanding and dialogue. The aim of this volume, however, is not to offer abstract methodological considerations, but rather to rely both on concrete studies, out of which a...
Knowledge of the pragmatici analyses pragmatic normative literature in colonial Ibero-America. It explores the circulation and the functions of these media in the Iberian peninsula, New Spain, Peru, New Granada and Brazil.
"While comparative constitutional law is a well-established field, less attention has been paid so far to the comparative dimension of constitutional history. The present volume, edited by Francesco Biagi, Justin O. Frosini and Jason Mazzone, aims to address this shortcoming by bringing focus to comparative constitutional history, which holds considerable promise for engaging and innovative work along several key avenues of inquiry. The essays contained in this volume focus on the origins and design of constitutional governments and the sources that have impacted the ways in which constitutional systems began and developed, the evolution of the principle of separation of powers among branches of government, as well as the origins, role and function of constitutional and supreme courts. Contributors include: Mark Somos, Gohar Karapetian, Justin O. Frosini, Viktoriia Lapa, Miguel Manero de Lemos, Francesco Biagi, Ctherine Andrews, Gonçalo de Almeida Ribeiro, Mario Alberto Cajas-Sarria, and Fabian Duessel"--
This is a translation of Liuprand's "Relatio de Legatione Constantinopolitana."
This collection brings together a group of international legal historians to further scholarship in different areas of comparative and regional legal history. Authors are drawn from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to produce new insights into the relationship between law and society across time and space. The book is divided into three parts: legal history and legal culture across borders, constitutional experiences in global perspective, and the history of judicial experiences. The three themes, and the chapters corresponding to each, provide a balance between public law and private law topics, and reflect a variety of methodologies, both empirical and theoretical. The volume highlights the gains that may be made by comparing the development of law in different countries and different time periods. The book will be of interest to an international readership in Legal History, Comparative Law, Law and Society, and History.

Comparative constitutional law has a long and distinguished history in intellectual thought and in the construction of public law. As political actors and the people who create or modify their constitutional orders, they often wish to learn from the experience and learning of others. This cross-fertilization and mutual interaction have only accelerated with the onset of globalization, which has transformed the world into an interconnected web that facilitates dialogue and linkages across international and regional structures. Oxford Comparative Constitutionalism seeks to publish scholarship of the highest quality in constitutional law that deepens our knowledge of local, national, regional, and global phenomena through the lens of comparative public law.
