Course syllabus
The course is aimed at studying in depth the history of law in the time period from the 12th and the 15th century, with particular regard to the ius commune system and the ius commune trial.
The first part of the course, of introductory nature, will be dedicated to the analysis of some aspects of the age of classical ius commune (12th - 15th centuries), with special regard to interpretation techniques and scientific methodology for approaching the law of medieval jurists, from the school of glossarists to the commentators' one, and to the contribution of jurisprudence to the formation of the system of sources of law in the Late Middle Ages.
The second part, more substantial and of monographic nature, will deal with the salient points of the roman-canon trial, both of the civil trial (ordinary and summary trial, from the introduction of the case to litis contestatio, from the evidence system to the dispute settlement, and to the systems of judicial review as well as the appeals of sentences), and of the criminal trial, the accusatory procedure (accusatory libel, public and private charge, evidentiary proceedings) and inquisitorial procedure (officium iudicis, secrecy, torture and confession, inquisition in the heresy and witchcraft trials).
