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.
