Abstract
This essay examines sources related to the creation and promulgation of the first codification of Aragonese territorial law in the mid-thirteenth century. The Fueros de Aragón have proven to be one of Europe's most durable bodies of laws, having persisted in some form or another for more than a millennium. In exploring the process by which Aragonese law was first codified, this essay expands our understanding of the evolution of medieval law. At the same time, it offers an occasion for questioning the origins of a written legal tradition that has defined historical and contemporary conceptions of Aragonese political identity within Spain. Of particular interest here is the tension that exists between longstanding assumptions about the origins of the first code of Aragonese law and the medieval sources that have something to say about it. In order to discern the process by which the fueros were codified, this essay scrutinizes the narrative prologues to multiple Latin and romance texts of the Fueros de Aragón as they are found in medieval manuscripts and early printed texts. The essay also considers the implications that these findings have for ongoing scholarship on the institutionalization of the Fueros de Aragón in Aragonese history.
本文考察了与13世纪中期阿拉贡领土法的第一部编纂和颁布有关的资料来源。事实证明,Aragón法律条文是欧洲最持久的法律体系之一,以这样或那样的形式存在了一千多年。在探索阿拉贡法律首次编纂的过程中,本文扩展了我们对中世纪法律演变的理解。与此同时,它提供了一个质疑书面法律传统起源的机会,这种传统定义了西班牙境内阿拉贡人政治身份的历史和当代概念。这里特别有趣的是关于阿拉贡第一部法典起源的长期假设与中世纪文献之间存在的紧张关系。为了辨别《火神》被编纂的过程,这篇文章仔细研究了《火神》Aragón的多个拉丁和浪漫文本的叙事序言,因为它们在中世纪手稿和早期印刷文本中被发现。本文还考虑了这些发现对正在进行的阿拉贡历史上Fueros de Aragón制度化的学术研究的影响。
期刊介绍:
The TRADITIO Network has now been furnishing information about all facets of traditional Roman Catholicism, answering questions both privately and publicly, for over 13 years now, longer than any other traditional site on the Internet. When we started, even the Vatican site didn"t exist! We wish that we could show you all of the personal letters we have received from troubled souls who have found here clear, traditional, and honest answers to their questions, free of organizational bias. Thousands of these have reverted or converted to the traditional Roman Catholic Faith as a result.
