Reviews

"Dr. Müller has given us a valuable study of an extremely important figure in the history, not only of canon law, but also of European law more broadly conceived. This is an important book that requires close attention from anyone concerned with the legal history of the medieval
world." --James A. Brundage, Law and History Review "Wolfgang Müller's study of Huguccio (d. 1210), the most important legal thinker in the decretist tradition, is a major contribution to the ongoing task of publishing the foundations of canon law." --James Muldoon, Catholic Historical Review
