Alberico Gentili’s ‘Silete theologi in munere alieno’
Alberico Gentili wrote addenda and corrigenda to his De iure belli libri tres (ed. pr. 1598), which were not included in the later, posthumous, editions of that work. The additions the author directed to be inserted after his exhortation ‘Remain silent, theologians, on an issue which is not your responsibility’ (Book 1, Ch. 12) suggest that he intended to emphasise the illegitimacy of wars on religious grounds, especially in international relatio…
Epilogue
The dossier of Clio@Themis on ius commune reflects how current historiography on ius commune has moved on since the late-twentieth century tendency of identifying the pre-codification civil law tradition as a blueprint for a possibly codified system of private law in the European Union. Civil law studies initiated in the medieval universities were intended to provide a science of the art of good government. Graduates from the law faculties were e…

Solomon blindfolded
Yvon Le Gall’s collected studies on the concept and representation of kingship in France, from the Middle Ages until modern times, investigate key moments in the history of criminal justice, and in the ascent and ebbing away of the king’s figure at the heart of sovereignty and public governance in French political history. The studies are based on a wide range of documents and works of art, linking central themes of legal and constitutional histo…
Conflict Management in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, 1000-1800
Pre-modern long-distance trade was fraught with risks which often created conflicts of interest. The ensuing disputes and the ways the actors involved dealt with them belong to the field of conflict management. How did victims of maritime conflicts claim compensation? How did individual actors and public institutions negotiate disputes which transcended jurisdictional boundaries? What strategies, arrangements and agreements could contribute to ac…

Le droit européen a-t-il une histoire ? En a-t-il besoin
Réponse en deux temps : premièrement, si l’on considère l’histoire du temps présent, qui coïncide en l’occurrence avec la période ayant débuté au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avec la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme et les traités ayant créé les communautés européennes, ces actes ont été fondamentaux pour la création et le développement de nouveaux ordres juridiques, dans un contexte historique qui marque une césure dans la…
Introduction
The settlement of structural commercial conflicts of interest cannot be exclusively subsumed under the heading of dispute resolution. Even when a particular conflict opposing specific individuals or groups of interests could be settled, the broader underlying conflicts of interest would subsist and re-emerge. Both commercial and institutional or political actors would therefore rely on various techniques of conflict management, a process imposing…

Diplomacy and Advocacy
Against the background of the Northern Seven Years’ War, a Dutch fleet carrying salt from France to the Baltic was arrested in 1564 by the Danish authorities in the Sound, and only allowed to proceed after declaring under oath that they would not sell their cargo to Denmark’s enemy. Afterwards, having reached the Baltic, the fleet encountered a Swedish man-of-war which (according to the Dutchmen) forced them to sail to Stockholm, where the salt w…

Dutch litigation before the Great Council of Mechlin An additional calendar of the 'Appeals from Holland'
M. Oosterbosch's additional calendar of documents belonging to the series 'Appeals from Holland' (Brussels, General Archives of the Realm, Collection Great Council of Mechlin) refers to hitherto unknown documents which may encourage fresh thematic research and case-studies on conflicts and litigation which originated mostly from Holland and Zeeland (from the 1460s until the 1580s), and to a lesser extent from Utrecht and (also during later period…

Vicarious liability for the carrier by river
A case-study of a litigation during the years 1566–1574 between merchants from Oudenaarde and the Corporation of Free Shippers in Ghent shows that the corporation's liability for damage caused by one of its members was controversial. Although art. 20 of the ordinance of 14 February 1541 appeared to phrase the corporation's vicarious or subsidiary liability in general terms, the corporation's counsel, assisted by consultancies from a.o. E. Leoninu…

An unedifying monument? J.M. Kemper and some early controversies around the French civil code
Against allegations that the 1820 draft of a Civil code for the Kingdom of the Netherlands was too doctrinal and theoretical, one of J.M. Kemper's arguments during the parliamentary discussions consisted in pointing out that far from being academic, the provisions of the draft which further elaborated on general principles expressed in the French Civil Code were in fact meant to settle through legislation controversies which had appeared in Frenc…
