Programme

The course proposes to investigate the historical dimension of administrative law from the Late Middle Ages, when the jurists put forward the first conceptualisations of forms of ecclesiastical and secular administratio. Through the analysis of historical sources, students follow an historical and legal path through which the administratio progressively separates itself from the medieval iurisdictio and the administrative power obtains legal and scientific autonomy from judicial power, up to the birth of administrative law in the modern Ages.
