From the establishment of a coherent doctrine on sacramental
marriage to the eve of the Reformation, late medieval church courts
were used for marriage cases in a variety of ways. Ranging widely
across Western Europe, including the Upper and Lower Rhine regions,
England, Italy, Catalonia, and Castile, this study explores the
stark discrepancies in practice between the North of Europe and the
South. Wolfgang P. Muller draws attention to the existence of
public penitential proceedings in the North and their absence in
the South, and explains the difference in demand, as well as
highlighting variations in how individuals obtained written
documentation of their marital status. Integrating legal and
theological perspectives on marriage with late medieval social
history, Muller addresses critical questions around the
relationship between the church and medieval marriage, and what
this reveals about both institutions.

In This Volume dedicated to medieval canon law expert Kenneth
Pennington, leading scholars from around the world discuss the
contribution of medieval church law to the origins of the western
legal tradition. The stellar cast assembled by editors Wolfgang P.
Muller and Mary E. Sommar includes younger scholars as well as
long-established specialists in the field. Muller's introduction
provides the first comprehensive survey of investigative trends in
the field in more than twenty years. Subdivided into four topical
categories, the essays cover the entire range of the history of
medieval canon law from the sixth to the sixteenth century. The
first section concentrates on the canonical tradition before the
advent of academic legal studies in the twelfth century. The second
addresses the formation of canonistic theory. The third and fourth
sections consider the intellectual exchanges between canon law and
other fields of study, as well as the practical application of
canons in day-to-day court proceedings. Though the twenty-seven
essays included in this volume are quite diverse, taken together
they provide an outstanding overview of the latest research and
cutting-edge scholarship on the topic. Kenneth Pennington is
Kelly-Quinn Professor of Ecclesiastical and Legal History at the
Catholic University of America. He is the author of numerous works
including Pope and Bishops: The Papal Monarchy in the Twelfth and
Thirteenth Centuries and The Prince and the Law, 1200-1600:
Sovereignty and Rights in the Western Legal Tradition, and is
coeditor of the CUA Press series, History of Medieval Canon Law.
Huguccio was an important lawyer of the medieval church, bishop of
Ferrara, and one of the greatest representatives of twelfth-century
scholasticism. In this book-length study of this influential
figure, Wolfgang P. Muller provides a critical account of the
biographical information on the man and his writings. He discusses
the various aspects of Huguccio's career and thought as well as the
manuscript tradition of some of his works. The author's scholarship
rests on direct consultation and painstaking analysis of enormous
quantities of manuscript material. This book provides the point of
departure for anyone wishing to study Huguccio first-hand. It will
be worthy reading for students of medieval canon law and an
essential addition to all libraries supportingresearch in medieval
studies.
Anyone who wants to understand how abortion has been treated
historically in the western legal tradition must first come to
terms with two quite different but interrelated historical
trajectories. On one hand, there is the ancient Judeo-Christian
condemnation of prenatal homicide as a wrong warranting
retribution; on the other, there is the juristic definition of
"crime" in the modern sense of the word, which distinguished the
term sharply from "sin" and "tort" and was tied to the rise of
Western jurisprudence. To find the act of abortion first identified
as a crime in the West, one has to go back to the twelfth century,
to the schools of ecclesiastical and Roman law in medieval Europe.
In this book, Wolfgang P. Muller tells the story of how abortion
came to be criminalized in the West. As he shows, criminalization
as a distinct phenomenon and abortion as a self-standing criminal
category developed in tandem with each other, first being
formulated coherently in the twelfth century at schools of law and
theology in Bologna and Paris. Over the ensuing centuries, medieval
prosecutors struggled to widen the range of criminal cases
involving women accused of ending their unwanted pregnancies. In
the process, punishment for abortion went from the realm of
carefully crafted rhetoric by ecclesiastical authorities to
eventual implementation in practice by clerical and lay judges
across Latin Christendom. Informed by legal history, moral
theology, literature, and the history of medicine, Muller's book is
written with the concerns of modern readers in mind, thus bridging
the gap that might otherwise divide modern and medieval
sensibilities.
