Cecil Nathan Sidney Woolf (1887 1917), Fellow of Trinity College,
Cambridge, was killed in the First World War. In this prize-winning
book, published in 1913, Woolf examines the way in which the
medieval jurist Bartolus of Sassoferrato (1314 57) interprets the
Roman Law to make it relevant to fourteenth-century Italian
political reality. Considering Bartolus's treatment of the
relationships between the Roman Empire and the papacy, kingdoms and
city-republics, Woolf places Bartolus's thought in its wider
historical context by surveying the complex problem of the empire
from the mid-thirteenth century onwards. In particular, he assesses
Bartolus's most famous argument that the city is its own emperor.
Arguing that Bartolus's influence lasted into the early modern
period, both in the practice of law and in the use made of his
works by writers like Bodin and Albericus Gentilis, this book also
includes a useful table explaining Bartolus's distinctions between
imperium and jurisdiction.
