| Abstract | The century that followed the emergence of Gratian's Decretum saw the appearance and crystallisation of the complex Romano-canonical legal process. This session will investigate the emergence of that procedural system, to better understand both how the system developed and then how it came to be used at a local level rather than simply relying on the copious manuscript evidence of the legal schools. Since the Romano-canonical legal procedure was one of the great achievements of post-Gratian canon law, this session will demonstrate the continued role of local interaction with procedure, even after the schools began to dominate ecclesiastical legal culture. |
