Law and Learning in the Middle Ages

This volume contains papers presented at the conference on ”Law and Learning in the Middle Ages” held at the Carlsberg Academy in Copenhagen in May 2005.
Here, a group of European and American scholars give their contribution to the examination of the theological and legal schooling that the ”creators” of the laws received at the major centres of learning in Europe, and address a number of important questions concerning the creation and development of legal professions and the dynamics between legal practice and theoretical, learned approaches to jurisprudence.
This volume will be of interests to students and scholars working with in European legal culture and cultural, social, and economic history of the Middle Ages and the early modern period.
The publication of this volume is funded by The Carlsberg Foundation.
