Collected Studies CS1071 The central figure in this volume is that
of Gratian, whose monumental compilation of canon law sparked off
the revival of legal studies in the medieval West. In other
collections of essays, Stephan Kuttner dealt with the development
of canon law in the two centuries that followed the publication of
Gratian's Decretum, and the ideas that this engendered; here he is
concerned with the foundations upon which all these later efforts
were based. The work of Gratian is, of course, the principal focus,
but the studies then follow the spread of the teaching of law, from
its inception at Bologna in the 1140s to its appearance soon after
in other centres of learning in the West especially in France, in
the Anglo-Norman schools and in Germany. With a quarter of the
volume consisting of additional notes and extensive indexes, it
makes a contribution of the greatest importance to the historical
study of canon law. For this second edition, a new section of
additional notes has been supplied, and the volume is introduced
with an essay by Peter Landau; these take account of the important
recent work on Gratian and the Decretum and chart the significance
of Stephan Kuttner's work.
