New Discourses in Medieval Canon Law Research offers a new
narrative for medieval canon law history which avoids the pitfall
of teleological explanations by taking seriously the multiplicity
of legal development in the Middle Ages and the divergent interests
of the actors involved. The contributors address the still dominant
'master narrative', mainly developed by Paul Fournier and enshrined
in his magisterial Histoire de collections canoniques. They present
new research on pre-Gratian canon collection, Gratian's Decretum,
decretal collections, but also hagiography, theology, and narrative
sources challenging the standard account; a separate chapter is
devoted to Fournier's model and its genesis. New Discourses thus
brings together specialized research and broader questions of who
to write the history of church law in the Middle Ages. Contributors
are Greta Austin, Katheleen G. Cushing, Stephan Dusil, Tatsushi
Genka, John S. Ott, Christof Rolker, Danica Summerlin, Andreas
Thier and John C. Wei.
