Paperback. This groundbreaking study reveals how the medieval world created the foundations of modern legal education and practice. From the dusty lecture halls of Bologna to the royal courts of England, from the bustling commercial centers of Italy to the serene monasteries of France, this book traces the remarkable story of how a new professional class emerged to shape European society.The revival of Roman law in the eleventh century sparked an intellectual revolution that would transform Europe. As universities arose in cities like Bologna, Paris, and Oxford, ambitious students flocked to study the ancient legal texts that promised pathways to power, prestige, and prosperity. These early law schools developed teaching methods, professional ethics, and institutional structures that continue to influence legal education today.Through vivid storytelling and analysis of original sources, the book introduces readers to the diverse characters who populated this legal landscape: brilliant professors whose commentaries became canonical texts, ambitious notaries whose precise documents structured daily life, powerful judges who shaped royal administration, and even the women who, despite formal exclusion, developed sophisticated legal knowledge to manage estates and religious houses.The narrative moves beyond the classroom to explore how legally trained individuals revolutionized medieval governance, creating sophisticated bureaucracies and jurisdictional theories that laid groundwork for the modern state. Their influence extended to commerce, church administration, international relations, and family life, demonstrating how legal expertise became central to nearly every aspect of medieval society.This comprehensive examination of medieval legal culture challenges outdated stereotypes about the Middle Ages. Rather than a period of superstition and disorder, readers discover a world increasingly structured by sophisticated legal reasoning, where technical expertise opened unprecedented opportunities for social advancement, and where competing jurisdictions created complex interactions between different legal systems that still resonate in today's globalized legal environment.Written for both specialists and general readers interested in medieval history, legal development, or educational history, this accessible yet scholarly work illuminates how the medieval legal profession established patterns of education, practice, and social influence that would shape Western civilization for centuries to come. It offers not just a history of legal education but a window into a pivotal moment when European society began its long transformation toward the rule of law. This item is printed on demand.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
