| Abstract | The leading question of this session concerns the area of tension between rules that are described in medieval normative texts and the implementation of these rules. Therefore, three areas of research are chosen: monastic rules (paper A), guild statutes (paper B) and constitutions of Late Medieval towns (paper C). All three papers are based on unedited source material and set new emphases on applications of rules. They promise new insights into medieval societies: How do they cope with rules? How do they insure the observing of rules and how do they prosecute offenses? |
