De Bono Communi: The Discourse and Practice of the Common Good in the European City 13th-16th C./ Discours Et Pratique Du Bien Commun Dans Les Villes ... Urban History 1100-1800, 22, Band 22) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
En principe every society strives for the common good. As these articles demonstrate, the reality does not always match the ideal. Lecuppre-Desjardin of the University of Lille and Van Bruaene of the University of Ghent had this well in mind when they selected the articles printed here on the concept of the common good and its implementation in late medieval and early modern European cities. The action of providing for the common good is often reinforced by legal and public statements. Claire Billen looks at epigraphic exhortations on public monuments in the Low Countries. Other scholars look at the language of government and the political writings of Johann von Soest. The definition of the areas that make up the common good, such as police protection, public works, fiscal honesty and a civil agreement between ruler and ruler take up several more articles. Some are general overviews of areas: the Midi, German towns and Italian communes. Others look at concepts of the common good among Franciscans, English guilds and the legal opinion that cornering a market in times of want was counter to the common good and should be punished. The idea that a well-functioning hierarchy with a lord at the top was sometimes preferable to a malfunctioning attempt at egalitarianism is presented. Taken together, these essays present a wide variety of ways in which the common good was defined even though each society strove to achieve it.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Traditionally confined to the sphere of the State and of auctoritas, the phrase the Common Good is set to conquer the cities in the late Middle Ages and at the beginning of the Early Modern period. But can we compare a kingdom like France where the cities defend their Common Good by making reference to the interest and benefit of the Kingdom with principalities like Flanders where, despite their fierce desire for autonomy, the cities use the notion with much greater reservation than their Italian counterparts? This volume traces the intellectual and theoretical roots that have led to the emergence of the notion of the Common Good in the urban world of Western Europe by analysing the practical forms of its manifestations.
