In the popular imagination, the Middle Ages are often associated
with lawlessness. As historians have long recognized, however,
medieval culture was characterized by an enormous respect for law,
legal procedure, and the ideals of justice and equity. Many of our
most important modern institutions and legal conceptions grew out
of medieval law in its myriad forms (Roman, canon, common,
customary, and feudal).Institutional structures represent only a
small portion of the wider cultural field affected by--and
affecting--law. In "Law and the Illicit in Medieval Europe" such
distinguished scholars as Patrick Geary, William Chester Jordan, R.
I. Moore, Edward M. Peters, and Susan Mosher Stuard make the case
that the development of law is deeply implicated in the growth of
medieval theology and Christian doctrine; the construction of
discourses on sin, human nature, honor, and virtue; the multiplying
forms governing chivalry, demeanor, and social interaction,
including gender relations; and the evolution of scholasticism,
from its institutional context within the university to its forms
of presentation, argumentation, and proof.
