1st Edition
Conciliarism and Church Law in the Fifteenth Century Studies on Franciscus Zabarella and the Council of Constance
Biography
Thomas E. Morrissey is Distinguished Teaching Professor in the History Department at SUNY Fredonia, USA.
"Morrissey’s studies provide an excellent account of Zabarella as both a man of thought and a man of action, a friend of humanists, and above all a consummate jurist. The author also nicely illustrates Zabarella’s practical realism by editing and translating a little handbook of advice that the great canonist wrote for the university teachers and students of his age. Most of it would apply just as well to their present-day counterparts." - Catholic Historical Review
"Morrisey’s articles are an indispensable resource for studying the Conciliar Movement. So this is a book for libraries of law, history and theology, and one that scholars working on the history and theory of conciliarism will need to use." - Paul Avis, University of Exeter
