Document Summary
Division into persons, property & actions as example for division in civil law. Relativisation of roman law enhanced scholarly interest in other legal systems. Humanists extended their field to the medieval scholarship of roman & canon law. Worked also with bartolism works criticized & corrected but used to argue certain points. Humanism provided a stimulus for academic study of ius properium mostly custom law. Since 16th century customary law was studied in new way: ordered, analysed, commented. Academic study of current law went along with nationalisation unification in sovereign states. Some jurists began construing a system of national law in their writings. Where necessary amend, supplement or correct. Humanist jurists provided the impetus for a more systematic study of roman law. Humanists departed from being bound by digest or codex. For study of private law the system of the institutes was adopted. Law needed to begin with general & work towards more concrete rules.
