"Understanding the rules of procedure and the practices of medieval and early modern
courts is of great importance for historians of every stripe. The authors and editors
of this volume present readers with a description of court procedure, the sources
for investigating the work of the courts, the jurisprudence and the norms that regulated
the courts, as well as a survey of the variety of courts that populated the European
landscape. Not least, the authors wish to show the relationship between the jurisprudence
that governed judicial procedure and what happened in the court room. By the end of
the thirteenth century, court procedure in continental Europe in secular and ecclesiastical
courts shared many characteristics. As the academic jurists of the Ius commune began
to excavate the norms of procedure from Justinian's great codification of law and
then to expound them in the classroom and in their writings, they shaped the structure
of ecclesiastical courts and secular courts as well. These essays also illuminate
striking differences in the sources that we find in different parts of Europe. In
northern Europe the archives are rich but do not always provide the details we need
to understand a particular case. In Italy and Southern France the documentation is
more detailed than in other parts of Europe but here too the historical records do
not answer every question we might pose to them. In Spain, detailed documentation
is strangely lacking, if not altogether absent. Iberian conciliar canons and tracts
on procedure tell us much about practice in Spanish courts. As these essays demonstrate,
scholars who want to peer into the medieval courtroom, must also read letters, papal
decretals, chronicles, conciliar canons, and consilia to provide a nuanced and complete
picture of what happened in medieval trials. This volume will give sophisticated guidance
to all readers with an interest in European law and courts."
