Firmly rooted on Roman and canon law, Italian legal culture has had
an impressive influence on the civil law tradition from the Middle
Ages to present day, and it is rightly regarded as "the cradle of
the European legal culture." Along with Justinian's compilation,
the US Constitution, and the French Civil Code, the Decretum of
Master Gratian or the so-called Glossa ordinaria of Accursius are
one of the few legal sources that have influenced the entire world
for centuries. This volume explores a millennium-long story of law
and religion in Italy through a series of twenty-six biographical
chapters written by distinguished legal scholars and historians
from Italy and around the world. The chapters range from the first
Italian civilians and canonists, Irnerius and Gratian in the early
twelfth century, to the leading architect of the Second Vatican
Council, Pope Paul VI. Between these two bookends, this volume
offers notable case studies of familiar civilians like Bartolo,
Baldo, and Gentili and familiar canonists like Hostiensis,
Panormitanus, and Gasparri but also a number of other jurists in
the broadest sense who deserve much more attention especially
outside of Italy. This diversity of international and
methodological perspectives gives the volume its unique character.
The book will be essential reading for academics working in the
areas of Legal History, Law and Religion, and Constitutional Law
and will appeal to scholars, lawyers, and students interested in
the interplay between religion and law in the era of globalization.
