Reasoning and reconciliation in twelfth-century Anglo-Norman legal writing
This article explores legal reasoning and reconciliation of sources in late twelfth-century legal writing, focusing on four Romano-canonical procedural treatises (‘Olim edebatur editio’, the ordo of Ricardus Anglicus, Actor et reus and the Ordo Bambergensis) and the English common law treatise known as Glanvill. Through a comparative lens, the study highlights how these works addressed conflicts between legal authorities while reflecting broader …
Legacies and Legalities
In English testamentary history, there is a clear divide between Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman testamentary practice, with the primary difference being that in the latter case, heritable land could not be bequeathed. Once the transfer of land required the livery of seisin, a practice introduced during the reign of Henry II (1154–89), it was not possible for a gift of land to take effect upon the death of the owner, and the royal courts did not con…
Common Law, Civil Law, and Colonial Law
Common Law, Civil Law, and Colonial Law builds upon the legal historian F.W. Maitland's famous observation that history involves comparison, and that those who ignore every system but their own 'hardly came in sight of the idea of legal history'. The extensive introduction addresses the intellectual challenges posed by comparative approaches to legal history. This is followed by twelve essays derived from papers delivered at the 24th British Lega…
Use of X-Ray Fluorescence Microscopy for Studies on Research Models of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Introduction: TheraSphere ® microspheres containing yttrium 90 Y are among many radioembolization agents used clinically to reduce liver tumor burden, and their effects on cancer volume reduction are well-established. At the same time, concerns about off target tissue injury often limit their use. Deeper investigation into tissue distribution and long-term impact of these microspheres could inform us about additional ways to use them in practice.…
The Procedure and Practice of Witness Testimony in English Ecclesiastical Courts, c .1193–1300
In the twelfth century, the English church courts made considerable use of compurgation and of sworn members of the community to aid in the resolution of disputes, but by the end of the thirteenth century, academic canon law depended almost entirely on witness testimony. Romano-canonical proceduralists established rules for examining witnesses, rejecting testimonies and resolving conflicts. However, these academic ideals were not always possible …
Elizabeth Papp Kamali, Felony and the Guilty Mind in Medieval England
In her book Felony and the Guilty Mind in Medieval England, Kamali examines the medieval understanding of mens rea, or a guilty mind, in determining culpability, a concept which is certainly familiar in Anglo-American law today. In Kamali’s book, mens rea encompasses “a guilty mind, vicious will, immorality of motive or simply a morally culpable state of mind” (p. 4), a wider reading of the concept than the modern one, which is limited to the men…
Thomas Wolf c. Richard de Abingdon,1293–1295
This essay examines the legal arguments in Wolf c. Abingdon, a tithes dispute from 1293–5 between the rector and the vicar of Aldington, Kent. The case records contain explicit citations to written law, a surprising find in a seemingly minor case. The presence of explicit citations in particular suggests first that the litigants had access to legal assistance in the provincial court, and second that advocates and possibly judges were turning to w…
