• Extra informatie: - This is a comprehensive study of the pecia system, a medieval method used by universities and scriptoria to efficiently reproduce texts. In this system, books were divided into sections called "pecia," which could be rented out to scribes for copying. Soetermeer focuses on how this system was employed for legal texts, particularly in university settings, facilitating the dissemination of legal knowledge across Europe. The work is regarded as a significant contribution to both codicology and legal history. By analyzing the pecia system's role in the dissemination of legal texts, the study offers valuable perspectives on medieval legal education and the transmission of legal knowledge. The meticulous research bridges the gap between codicology (the physical aspects of manuscript production) and legal history, highlighting how the pecia system influenced the accuracy and availability of legal texts. The book also explores the role of universities, especially in Italy and France, in standardizing legal education through controlled manuscript reproduction.
