Abstract
AbstractThis chapter examines the way the modern concept of public law evolved from a series of debates within medieval jurisprudence. In these debates theological and political questions were invariably intertwined and the main points of contention often arose from disputes concerning the governing arrangements of the Roman church. The struggles for authority between popes, emperors, and princes were variously expressed in the languages of law, whether divine law, Roman law, canon law, natural law, and common law. Public law acquires its basic grammar and vocabulary from this rich ideological battlefield.
