4th Workshop on Juridical Culture – Jurists and the Medieval State. Varieties and Development of a Symbiotic Relationship, 1100-1500, organized by Maria João BRANCO and André VITORIA
Speakers and Participants – Members of the IUS ILLUMINATUM research team: Maria João BRANCO (IEM-FCSH/Universidade Nova de Lisboa) with a paper entitled In the Portuguese royal curia between Bologna and Rome: the role of jurists in the consolidation of a budding monarchy (12th-13th centuries) – Dante FEDELE (CNRS-Lille — CHJ UMR 8025) with a paper entitled The sea and islands in late medieval juristic thought
This workshop will bring together sixteen international experts in the history of medieval law and politics around a common reflection on the evolution of the role that jurists played within the governing apparatus, as it expanded and became progressively more complex, among eleventh and fifteenth centuries. Situated at the intersection of the history of law and political and institutional history, this question is fundamental to understand how sovereign public authority is defined, exercised and imposed, how political thought and the practice of power are articulated, in a period in which they are constituted the basic institutional and conceptual structures of the pre-modern state.

The Webinar Cycle is organized by the Institute of Medieval Studies (IEM-FCSH/NOVA), together with the IUS ILLUMINATUM research team and in partnership with the Portuguese Heraldry Institute (IPH). This initiative, coordinated by researchers Maria Alessandra Bilotta and Miguel Metelo de Seixas, aims to show the usefulness of the scientific analysis of the presence of heraldic emblems in illuminated manuscripts and legal documents, focusing on those manuscripts and documents that circulated in Europe during the Middle Ages (13th-16th centuries). This initiative also aims to facilitate synergies between different areas of knowledge and to disseminate the results of research to a wider audience, always maintaining scientific rigor, in order to promote the awareness of the heraldic heritage in manuscripts and in medieval legal documents, drawing attention to the importance of conserving that heritage.

Seminar Digestum vetus and fragments of the Decretum Gratiani – Seminar cycle “Treasures on parchment”
Speakers – Members of the IUS ILLUMINATUM research team: Maria Alessandra Bilotta, PI of IUS ILLUMINATUM and José Domingues, Member of the Scientific Committee of IUS ILLUMINATUM
The Calouste Gulbenkian Museum holds two illuminated fragments and a medieval codex of Ius commune(common law). The Common law – consisting of the Corpus Iuris Civilis(Body of Civil Law), the Corpus Iuris Canonici(Body of Canon Law) and associated legal literature – was one of the most important sources of the laws that prevailed in Portugal from the Middle Ages until the Lei da Boa Razão (Law of Good Sense) of 1769. 1. Under the medieval system, the Corpus Iuris Civilis– a compilation of Roman law drawn up under Emperor Justinian in the sixth century – was divided into five parts: the Old Digest, the Infortiatum, the New Digest, the Code and the Volumen Parvum (little volume). MS LA212 is an Old Digest, copied and illuminated in France during the fourteenth century. 2. The Corpus Iuris Canoniciwas organised in six parts: Decretum Gratiani, Decretals of Gregory IX, Sixth Book of the Decretals, Clementinæ, the Extravagantes of John XXII and the Extravagantes Communes. The fragments M36A and M36B were part of a Decree of Gratian, the most important source of medieval canon law, drawn up by Gratian in the first half of the seventh century. Their illuminations are attributed to the workshop of the Maître du Missel de Augier de Cogeux (or Cogenx), and were produced during the first half of the fourteenth century, probably in Toulouse. This seminar focuses on the decorative and illustrative splendour of these legal fragments, relates them to other manuscripts produced at the time and explains the practical importance that these extraordinary legal works acquired during the Portuguese Middle Ages.
