This book presents the collection of brocards known as Perpendiculum, produced in Northern France c.1170, offering for the first time an in-depth study of the work and providing a Latin edition and an English translation of its text.
The Perpendiculum (or Summula de presumptionibus), produced in Northern France c.1170, is one of the earliest collections of brocards: a literary genre intended to provide legal arguments for disputation in the medieval schools of law. Its innovative use of dialectical techniques and its theorization of canon law presumptions have attracted the attention of legal historians, raising questions on its origin and milieu.

This book offers the first comprehensive study of this work, with a Latin edition and an English translation of its text, shedding new light on the significance of this collection for twelfth-century legal teaching and learning.

David De Concilio, Ph.D. (2022, University of St Andrews/Università degli Studi Roma Tre), is research fellow at the Università degli Studi di Padova. He has published articles on medieval Roman and canon law, with a specific interest in the interaction between law, theology, and liberal arts.
