The second lecture series in legal history organized by CPH includes four lectures related to both European legal tradition and comparative legal history. Our distinguished speakers will offer fresh insights on a variety of topics, providing a complex framework for assessing the value of comparative legal history for legal science in general. The first lecture by Aniceto Masferrer (University of Valencia) will provide us with a bird’s-eye view of legal history and its relevance for law and legal science. The second lecture by Dirk Heirbaut (Ghent University) will be a masterclass in comparative legal research on the classic issue of codes and codification over the last two hundred years. With the third lecture by Wim Decock (University of Louvain), we will delve into the complex realm of the early modern period, exploring its entanglement of canon law, Roman law, and moral theology. In the concluding contribution by Tommaso Beggio (University of Trento), we will have an opportunity to follow the development of the idea of punishment by prison and the use (or misuse) of Roman law in the European legal tradition.
The editor-in-chief of CPH, Maksymilian Stanulewicz, warmly invites all interested scholars and students to participate in our online lectures and to submit papers to CPH. The series is organized by the Editorial Secretary of CPH, Piotr Alexandrowicz (piotr.alexandrowicz@amu.edu.pl) within the Institute for Advanced Studies in Social Sciences and Humanities at AMU.
After each open lecture, there will be a follow-up closed seminar for interested early career researchers (graduate students, PhD candidates, postdocs). If you would like to participate in one of these seminars, please contact the organizer.
