This volume brings together papers by a group of scholars,
distinguished in their own right, in honour of James Brundage. The
essays are organised into four sections, each corresponding to an
important focus of Brundage's scholarly work. The first section
explores the connection between the development of medieval legal
and constitutional thought. Thomas Izbicki, Kenneth Pennington, and
Charles Reid, Jr. explore various aspects of the jurisprudence of
the Ius commune, while James Powell, Michael Gervers and Nicole
Hamonic, Olivia Robinson, and Elizabeth Makowski examine how that
jurisprudence was applied to various medieval institutions. Brian
Tierney and James Muldoon conclude this section by demonstrating
two important points: modern ideas of consent in the political
sphere and fundamental principles of international law attributed
to sixteenth century jurists like Hugo Grotius have deep roots in
medieval jurisprudential thought. Patrick Zutshi, R. H. Helmholz,
Peter Landau, Marjorie Chibnall, and Edward Peters have written
essays that augment Brundage's work on the growth of the legal
profession and how traces of a legal education began to emerge in
many diverse arenas. The influence of legal thinking on marriage
and sexuality was another aspect of Brundage's broad interests. In
the third section Richard Kay, Charles Donahue, Jr., and Glenn
Olsen explore the intersection of law and marriage and the
interplay of legal thought on a central institution of Christian
society. The contributions of Jonathan Riley-Smith and Robert
Somerville in the fourth section round-out the volume and are
devoted to Brundage's path-breaking work on medieval law and the
crusading movement. The volume also includes a comprehensive
bibliography of Brundage's work.
