Papyrology and 3 Caines 175
Those who work with the papyri or stone inscriptions from the ancient world frequently are faced with incomplete texts. Papyrologists or epigraphers will attempt to fill in the missing parts of the text, relying on their knowledge of what similar documents say. Sometimes a later find will provide a missing piece. Experience with such finds has been that an expert reconstruction normally will get the basic sense of the document right, but rarely g…

Equity in the Courts of Merchants
This paper had its origins in a study of Benvenuto Stracca's De mercatura. The purpose of the study was to determine whether there was anything in that work that supported the notion that there was a system of customary mercantile law in operation in Italy in Stracca's time. The answer to that question proved to be a rather resounding 'no', and the arguments that lead to that conclusion will be published elsewhere. In the process of examining Str…
Biology and the Origins of the English Jury
The history of institutions is plagued by the biological analogy. We speak so frequently of the life and death , the birth, growth, maturity , and decline , of institutions that we forget that these words are being used metaphorically. Of course, the human beings who create and use the institutions have a birth and a death, but human institutions have only a start and a stop (frequently a far less precise one than those words might imply), and th…

Clandestine” Marriage in the Later Middle Ages: A Reply
Andrew J. Finch has taken issue in these pages with my interpretation of “clandestine” marriage in the later Middle Ages. He is certainly correct that the phenomenon of “clandestine” marriage in the high and late Middle Ages cannot be given a single explanation. As I said in the first piece that I wrote on the topic: “The cases provide evidence for the proposition that some people were genuinely confused about to whom they were married; that the …

The Canon Law On the Formation of Marriage and Social Practice in the Later Middle Ages
The legal rules concerning the formation of marriage adopted by Pope Alexander III (1159-1181) gave considerable freedom to marriage partners to form a marriage without the consent of their parents or lords. A preliminary survey of the surviving records from the medieval church courts in both England and France suggests that there were substantial differences in the types of marriage-formation cases being heard in the two countries. The differenc…

Beowulf and Christian Tradition: A Reconsideration from a Celtic Stance
Since Beowulf was made available to scholars early in the last century it has been recognized as a poem deeply rooted in Germanic heroic tradition and dealing with ancient and pagan Scandinavian heroes. No pagan gods, however, are mentioned by name, and there are many references to the one true God who rules at all times over all. Further, there are unmistakable allusions to the story of Cain and Abel and to the giants who were destroyed by the f…
