Crises are never the best of times and the era of the Great Western
Schism (1378-1417) easily qualifies as one of the worst of times.
As a professor of canon law at the University of Padua and later
cardinal, and as a major theorist in the conciliarist movement,
Franciscus Zabarella (1360-1417) tried to do what a good legal mind
does: find and explicate a viable and legal solution to the crises
of his time, a solution that would stand up in his own era and for
the generations that followed. In this volume Thomas Morrissey
looks at what he said, wrote and did, and places him and his
thought in the context of the late medieval and early modern era,
how he reflected that world and how he influenced it. Particular
studies elucidate what he wrote on the authority and on the duty of
the people in power, what they could do and should do, as well as
what they should not do. They also show how he explored the area of
early constitution law and human rights in civil and religious
society and that his work leads down the road to our modern
constitutional democratic societies. The volume includes two
previously unpublished studies, on the situation in Padua c. 1400
and on a sermon from 1407, together with an introduction
contextualizing the articles.
