Performances of Law — Conte
Julie Peters has written a very rich, comprehensive and well-researched book on a subject that I consider extremely important for my own research.
Emanuele Conte
Emanuele Conte is a professor of Legal History at the Law School of the University of Rome 3. He is also "directeur d'études" at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris. His work combines a research into the creation, formation, and transformation of the discipline of Legal History, and a new series of proposals on how to analyze concepts, rules, and institutions that lawyers and legal scholars were discussing in the margins of the medieval manuscripts of the Roman legal corpora.
The Power and the Law –Conte
Around 1200, the lawyers were looking for a balance between the two authorities: the one of the lawmakers and the one of the existing law.
