In this book one of the world's foremost legal historians draws
upon the evidence of the canon law, court records and the English
common-law system to demonstrate the extent to which, contrary to
received wisdom, Roman canon law survived in England after the
upheavals of the Protestant Reformation. R. H. Helmholz provides an
extensive examination of the manuscript records of the
ecclesiastical courts and professional literature of the English
civilians. Rebutting the views of Maitland and others, he shows how
English looked to the Continent for guidance and authority in
administering the system of justice they had inherited from the
Middle Ages. Intellectual links between England and the Continent
are shown to have survived the Reformation and the abolition of
papal jurisdiction. The extent to which papal material was still
used in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries will
interest all readers and surprise many.
