| Abstract | This round table discussion considers the effects of separate legal traditions (whether national or systematic) on the way in which we write the history of law during the high Middle Ages, the period of the 'legal revolution'. Drawing on examples from Iberia, the Italian peninsula, and England, as well as thinking through the historiographies of civil law, canon law, and common law, this round table discussion considers the challenges and possibilities in producing a properly 'multi-legal' history of law in Europe during this period. Participants include Rodrigo García-Velasco Bernal (University College London), Thomas McSweeney (College of William & Mary, Virginia), Danica Summerlin (University of Sheffield), Jason Taliadoros (Deakin University, Melbourne), and Lidia Luisa Zanetti Domingues (Università degli Studi di Milano). |
