| Abstract | The anonymous cleric who wrote the Anglo-Norman treatise, Ordo Bambergensis, undoubtedly spoke for many who studied and practiced canon law in the late 12th century. The increasingly formal study of both the civil and canon laws had revealed the silences of the latter on many aspects of the law, notably legal procedure. Sometimes the civil law could be easily integrated into the canons; at other points, it was either contrasted or superseded by them. The proposed session explores the relevance, and 'otherness' of the civil law to the canon law, both in study and practice, from the time around the appearance of Gratian's Decretum, ca. 1140 and into the later Middle Ages. |
