THE LLIBRE DEL CONSOLAT DE MAR: A MEDIEVAL NORMATIVE BODY IN THE IUS COMMUNE SCOPE

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to address an always controversial issue, such as the reception of Roman law in the set of local laws and institutions -Iura propria. In the case of the Llibre del Consolat de Mar, the present research, aims to contribute to determining the degree of reception of the Ius commune –in particular through the Justinian Roman law. Should such reception be lesser than what is usually believed, this would mean that Ius commune had not always prevailed over the customs and practices of a specific area as in the medieval western Mediterranean maritime law contained in this Llibre.
