BIO
Erika Rummel, Professor emerita in the Department of History at Wilfrid Laurier University, is the author of The Humanist-Scholastic Debate in the Renaissance & Reformation (1995) and more than a dozen other books, and the translator of four volumes in The Collected Works of Erasmus.
James K. Farge is a Fellow of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Toronto. He is the author of Religion, Reformation, and Repression in the Reign of Francis I: Documents from the Parlement of Paris, 1515–1547 (2015), and of two volumes of the proceedings of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Paris, among other works.
Summary
This collection of sixty documents, translated into English for the first time, presents selected deliberations and decisions of the Parlement of Paris during the reign of Francis I (1515–1547), focusing on the relationship between these guardians of secular law and the guardians of church law. Their interactions shed light on the complex nature of the Reformation, showing that the distinction between ecclesiastical and secular law was not as sharp then as it would become in later centuries.
