Along a path of continuity with the medieval period, early modern European legal traditions shared certain fundamental features. These include multilingualism, a plurality of sources of law, the way in which judicial authority was exercised and judicial protection for rights.
Against this background, the textbook aims to offer a basis for reflection on the role of the languages of law and the ways of doing justice (especially criminal justice) in Europe over the course of three centuries, from the late 15th century until the end of the 18th century.
Considered from a long-term perspective, the technical lexicon of the law, the powers of the sovereign, the voices of subjects and justice appear as the founding moments of a civilisation, above all if considered in relation to 18th century reforms and their outcomes. The general issues are contextualised within a specific reference framework, the Duchy of Milan in the 16th and 17th centuries.
