Publisher's Synopsis
The second volume of the Viennese legal register covers the years 1442 to 1557 and thus falls into a period of great upheaval. In addition to the influence of humanism on the world of scholars north of the Alps, the register also shows the reception of Roman law in Vienna as well as changes in confession. In addition to the critical edition, which is accessible through two registers, a statistical and prosopographical evaluation, a palaeographic analysis of the writings as well as aspects of the social origin of university visitors, student mobility and the professional opportunities of lawyers can be found in this volume. The work thus represents an important contribution to university and scholarly research as well as to legal history around 1500.
