Questo lavoro parte dal profondo senso di rispetto per tutti quei soggetti che sentono di avere un'appartenenza religiosa e, in egual misura, per tutti quei soggetti che non sentono di appartenere ad alcun orizzonte religioso o metafisico. Per i primi come per i secondi, questo studio vuol essere un esercizio prima di tutto dialettico, alla ricerca di punti di contatto e di punti di vista costruttivi che sappiano valorizzare il pluralismo che caratterizza le nostre società contemporanee. Per i primi come per i secondi, inoltre, questo studio vuol essere uno sforzo di comprensione dell'Altro, della sua identità come della sua stessa alterità. Per i primi come per i secondi, infine, questo studio vuole proporre una chiave di lettura della complessità e della vastità di determinate dinamiche che segnano punti di articolazione vitali tanto a livello locale quanto a livello globale.

This book presents a broad overview of succession law, encompassing aspects of family law, testamentary law and legal history. It examines society and legal practice in Europe from the Middle Ages to the present from both a legal and a sociological perspective. The contributing authors investigate various aspects of succession law that have not yet been thoroughly examined by legal historians, and in doing so they not only add to our knowledge of past succession law but also provide a valuable key to interpreting and understanding current European succession law. Readers can explore such issues as the importance of a father's permission to marry in relation to disinheritance, as well as inheritance transactions and private, dynastic and cross-border successions. Further themes addressed by the expert contributors include women's inheritance rights, the laws of succession for the prince in legal consulting, and succession in the Rota Romana's jurisprudence.

This volume addresses the study of family law and society in Europe, from medieval to contemporary ages. It examines the topic from a legal and social point of view. Furthermore, it investigates those aspects of the new family legal history that have not commonly been examined in depth by legal historians. The volume provides a new'global'interpretative key of the development of family law in Europe. It presents essays about family and the Christian influence, family and criminal law, family and civil liability, filiation (legitimate, natural and adopted children), and family and children labour law. In addition, it explores specific topics related to marriage, such as the matrimonial property regime from a European comparative perspective, and impediments to marriage, such as bigamy. The book also addresses topics including family, society and European juridical science.

Das heutige Recht aller europäischen Staaten ist maßgeblich durch die Kirche geprägt. Dennoch sind deren »kanonisches Recht« und dessen Beitrag zur europäischen Rechtskultur fast völlig in Vergessenheit geraten. Kanonistische Forschung wird an juristischen Fakultäten kaum noch betrieben, selbst ­manchen Rechtshistorikern erscheint das kanonische Recht als Buch mit sieben Siegeln. Der vorliegende Band schließt mit Bezug auf das Straf- und Strafprozessrecht der Kirche ein dreibändiges Werk ab, das die Beiträge von insgesamt drei internationalen Tagungen ­ver­sammelt. Dabei wird mit Hilfe von Einzelfallstudien zu ­zentralen Rechtsproblemen ein Überblick über den ­Forschungsstand geboten und gleichzeitig der Einstieg in ­diese schwierige, aber auch faszinierende und anregende ­Forschungswelt erleichtert.
