Résumé:

Qu’est-ce que « la loi », qui « légifère » dans les anciens Pays-Bas ? Les normes édictées par les princes territoriaux du Moyen Âge puis les souverains des Temps modernes répondent-elles à des besoins hic et nunc ou s’inscrivent-elles dans des programmes de gouvernement ? Quels individus et quelles institutions sont-ils associés à leur création, à leur interprétation, à leur diffusion ? Comment sont-elles portées à la connaissance des sujets auxquels elles s’appliquent ? Telles sont les questions encore très actuelles qu’aborde ce livre en balayant plus de six siècles d’histoire. Docteur en histoire de l’Université catholique de Louvain (1978), Jean-Marie Cauchies (1951-.) est professeur émérite de l’Université Saint-Louis – Bruxelles et de l’Université catholique de Louvain. Spécialiste de l’histoire du droit et des institutions, en particulier aux xive–xvie siècles, il est membre titulaire de l’Académie royale de Belgique (Classe des Lettres), de la Commission royale d’histoire et de la Commission pour la publication des anciennes lois et ordonnances de Belgique.

Residual value and assessement of damages under the lex Aquilia (Harry Dondorp)

Abstract:

Nowadays it is generally held, that the owner who brought an actio legis Aquiliae usually claimed no more than his loss, perhaps already in Ulpian’s time, for certain in Justinian’s. For the sum of condemnation based upon the estimation-clauses of the lex Aquilia would only then exceed his damages, if either the injured object’s value had decreased in the last year or 30 days (Inst. 4,3,9) or the wrongdoer had denied having caused the damage (C. 3,35,4). There is, however, a third reason, which the Roman texts fail to mention: a possible residual value of killed lifestock, wounded slaves, and damaged objects, which benefitted the owner. Only a few later jurists took this into account: in medieval times Jacques de Révigny and Pierre Jacobi, Johann Oldendorp in the Early Modern era. The notion prevailed that the lex Aquilia obliged to pay at least the object’s full value.

The Gloss to the Saunteen Kesta (Seventeen Statutes) of the Frisian Land Law (Jan Hallebeek)

Abstract:

The Seventeen Statutes is one of the oldest classical texts of Old Frisian Law. In its late fifteenth century edition, as part of the Frisian Land Law, it was provided with Latin glosses. Analysis of these glosses, which were scarcely investigated until now, enables us to pronounce with more certainty upon the date of both the Frisian Land Law, as a compilation, and its Gloss. Moreover, the glosses to the Seventeen Statutes reflect a considerable increase of ecclesiastical competence, point to certain principles of Romano-canonical procedure and use Roman law texts when applying provisions of indigenous law. This all may indicate a stronger presence of learned law in late medieval Friesland than previously assumed.

The barratry of the shipmaster in early modern law: polysemy and mos Italicus (Guido Rossi)

Abstract:

‘Barratry’ is a polysemic term: it means deceit, bribe, simony, and fraud of the shipmaster. This article seeks to trace the origins of the word and to explore its different meanings, focusing especially on the influence that older meanings had on the development of more recent ones. This operation is of particular importance to understand the meaning of barratry that would appear for last – that of fraud of the shipmaster. By the time civil lawyers started dealing with maritime barratry, they were already well familiar with the other meanings of the term. This probably favoured the adaptation process, but it also left a deep mark on its outcome: the weight of those other meanings of the same term had a significant influence on the qualification of maritime barratry, an influence otherwise difficult to explain.

Thomas Craig on the origin and development of feudal law (Leslie Dodd)

Abstract:

When Thomas Craig (c.1538-1608) wrote his great treatise on Scottish feudal practice, the Jus feudale, he devoted a considerable part of the first book to legal origins. This article deals with Craig’s treatment narrative on the origins of feudal law and tenure in the fourth and fifth titles of the first book. By close examination of the text, the detailed formulation of Craig’s argumentation and technique is uncovered as well as the myriad classical, mediaeval and humanist sources upon which his literary project was based. In this way, the deep relationship between Craig – and by extension Scots law – and the historico-legal product of the French legal humanists is explored.

The legal foundations of post-mortem examinations in early modern Flanders. Princely legislation, custom, doctrine and judicial practice (Kevin Dekoster)

Abstract:

Because of its manifold references to the consultation of medical experts in homicide and infanticide cases, the Constitutio Criminalis Carolina of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V (1532) is often regarded as an important milestone in the development of early modern forensic medicine. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the County of Flanders, a principality within the Habsburg Netherlands, witnessed a similar upsurge in the production of normative and doctrinal texts aiming to regulate forensic activities. Drawing on princely legislation, local customary law and the writings of the jurists Filips Wielant and Joos de Damhouder, this contribution will compare the corpus of Flemish legal texts with its practical application by the myriad of law courts operating within the county. As the princely legislation only laid out a general framework, the regulation of the forensic post-mortem was essentially an issue of local governance. The local nature of forensic practices should however not be overestimated. Evidence from preserved post-mortem reports demonstrates that there were more similarities between towns and regions within the county than actual differences.

De 19e-eeuwse geschiedenis van de Nederlandse wetenschap van het burgerlijke recht? Helemaal niet! (Jeroen M.J. Chorus)

Abstract:

This article reviews C.J.H. Jansen’s attempt to write the history of Private Law (except for Commercial Law) doctrine in The Netherlands during the 19th Century. Regrettably, Jansen’s book does next to nothing discuss academic and other scholarly writings on the Law of Property and of Obligations, and does not at all discuss such writings on the Law of Persons and the Family, of Juristic Persons and of Succession. It only deals with aspects of methodology, of sources of law and of extra-legal factors which inspired some authors, apart from pouring out over the reader lots of facts unconnected with Private Law doctrine. The book’s title is misleading.

VACATURE/OUVERTURE DE POSTE: 5 DOCTORANDI/DOCTORANTS RESEARCH PROJECT 'INNOVATION THROUGH EDUCATION' KULEUVEN (DEADLINE: 15 AUGUSTUS/AOÛT)

Job Opportunities @ KU Leuven: 5 PhD Scholarships in Early Modern Book History, Theology and Legal History

In October 2019, the interdisciplinary research project “Innovation through Education: Pioneering Change in Law and Theology in Louvain’s Golden Age”will be launched. The project is led by a team of KU Leuven researchers consisting of LECTIO members Prof Wim Decock (Roman Law and Legal History, spokesperson), Prof Wouter Druwé (Roman Law and Legal History), Prof Randall Lesaffer (Roman Law and Legal History), Dr An Smets (KU Leuven Libraries) and Prof Violet Soen (Early Modern History), with the support of Prof Mark Depauw (Ancient History/Digital Humanities), Prof Wim François (History of Church and Theology) and Prof Jan Papy (Latin Literature). The team is now opening a call for 5 PhD positions within the project, funded by the Research Fund of the University of Leuven.

 

Project Description

The project studies the teachings of professors in law and theology at the University of Louvain and the Jesuit College of Louvain in the 16th and 17th centuries. By analyzing hitherto unexamined notes taken by students during courses of selected professors (Michael Baius, Jacobus Jansonius, Robertus Bellarminus, Leonardus Lessius, Andreas Vallensis, Petrus Peckius, Petrus Gudelinusand Antonius Perezius), the objective is to propose a grassroots perspective on intellectual change in law and theology in the early modern period. Handwritten material (e.g. student notebooks) will be confronted with printed sources (e.g. published treatises) to examine whether innovative ideas were tested in the classroom before they found their way (or not) into printing. Special attention will be paid to the interaction between new societal challenges and changes in the contents and methods of teaching law and theology. Moreover, the question will be raised what impetus, if any, Louvain professors received from (inter)national scholarly networks, especially from Douai and Salamanca. The project builds upon and expands the Magister Dixit-project (http://lectio.ghum.kuleuven.be/lectio/magister-dixit). 

Candidates are invited to apply for a full-time, four-year fellowship in one of the following subprojects: 

• scholarship 1: “Towards a New Book Archeology of Teaching in Louvain” 
• scholarship 2: “The Biblical Turn in Theology and New Teachings on Grace and Free Will”
• scholarship 3: “Re-Inventing Canon Law: Teaching the Decretals After Trent” 
• scholarship 4: “Re-Constituting the Habsburg Netherlands: Civil Lawyers and the Rise of Public Law” 
• scholarship 5: “Transforming the Morality of the Market: The Jesuit Contribution to Law & Theology” 

The letter of motivation should indicate in which of the subprojects the candidate would prefer to be involved and how the candidate envisages the content of the PhD-project.The final decision about the sub-project and PhD-topic will be made in common agreement with the promotors. Depending on the sub-project and the promotors, it will be possible to pursue a PhD degree in either history,law or theology.

Requirements

You hold a master’s degree with at least distinction in one of the following fields: history, law, canon law, languages and literature, philology, philosophy or theology and religious studies, or, ideally, in more than one of those fields. Students graduating in September 2019 are eligible to apply. 

A good command of Latin is essential, as the primary source material is not available in translation. The working language of the project is English, but dissertations can also be written in Dutch, French or German. Paleographical skills are an asset. Training will be provided in the first year of the project. 

Candidates are team players eager to work in an interdisciplinary and international research environment. The PhD candidates will be expected to live and work in Leuven and contribute actively to the monthly seminars of the research group.

Remuneration

The net amount of the scholarship will be approx. 2000euro/month, depending on age, professional experience and family status; in addition, the fellowship provides for social and health benefits, office space and a bench fee for research expenses.

Subject to positive evaluation after the first year and the second year, the scholarship has a total duration of 48 months (1+1+2). KU Leuven offers a wide variety of courses for PhD candidates, a minimum of which must be followed as part of the compulsory doctoral training program, the specific content of which may vary from one faculty to another. 

The PhD candidates will benefit from a unique experience in an interdisciplinary environment with junior and senior experts in the fields of book history, digital humanities, history of law, history of church and theology, early modern history, religious history, and philology.  

All senior team members are involved in LECTIO, KU Leuven’s Centre for the Study of the Transmission of Text and Ideas in Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. PhD candidates will be encouraged to participate in LECTIO’s activities; http://lectio.ghum.kuleuven.be/

How to apply

IM MEMORIAM: Prof. mr. J.A. ANKUM (UvA)

(bron afbeelding/source image: KNAW)

Prof. mr. J.A. (Hans) Ankum (UvA/KNAW) overleed begin deze week. De redactie van Standen en Landen biedt haar innige deelneming aan.

Le prof. J.A. (Hans) Ankum (UvA/KNAW). vient de décéder en début de semaine. La rédaction d'Anciens Pays et Assemblées d'États offre ses condoléances sincères.

Een Im Memoriam werd per ijlbode rondgestuurd in de Rechtshistorische Courant (UGent, Instituut voor Rechtsgeschiedenis), door Prof. dr. D. Heirbaut.

Une notice nécrologique fut envoyée par le Rechtshistorische Courant (UGent, Instituut voor Rechtsgeschiedenis), de la main du Prof. D. Heirbaut.

Eerste paragraaf/premier paragraphe:

Met droefenis melden wij u het overlijden van prof. mr. J.A. Ankum. Geboren in 1930 liep Hans Ankum school te Amsterdam en te Zaandam. Hoewel hij eigenlijk een voorliefde had voor de klassieke  oudheid,  koos  hij  voor  zijn  universitaire  studies  te  Amsterdam  toch  de  opleiding Nederlands recht. Daarbij kwam echter de geschiedenis uitgebreid aan bod, met onder andere  papyrologische vakken. Na een langdurig verblijf in Parijs en een baan als assistent van Hoetink in Amsterdam, promoveerde hij in 1962 met als thema de “Geschiedenis der actio Pauliana”. In 1963 volgde een aanstelling in Leiden als hoogleraar was voor Romeins en oud-vaderlands recht. Reeds twee jaar later keerde hij terug naar de Universiteit van Amsterdam, waar hij tot het einde van zijn carrière hoogleraar zou blijven.

Samenvatting/résumé:

Jan Hallebeek will become emeritus in April 2019. That will mark an end to his professional career as Researcher and Lecturer on a Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences post (1989–1999), as Professor Extraordinarius at the Theological Faculty of the University of Utrecht (1997–2006), and as Professor on the Chair of Legal History at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (from 1999 onwards). These positions reflect two focal points of his research: on the one hand Church history and Canon Law, on the other hand classical and particularly medieval Roman law and their history. They matched very felicitously his engagement for and in the Old-Catholic Church. The contributions centre on the themes and questions the honorand has pursued in his work till now.
