John of Ancona's Summae: A Neglected Source for the Juridical History of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem

handle is hein.journals/bumedcal29 and id is 197 raw text is: John of Ancona's Summae: A Neglected Source for the Juridical History of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem Jonathan Rubin Although sometimes mentioned in scholarly literature, only very few historians of the Latin East are acquainted with two learned 'summae' written in the Kingdom of Jerusalem during the latter part of the thirteenth century.' Consequently, I am grateful to Dr. Martin Bertram (Rome), Prof. Esther Cohen (Hebrew University), Prof Anders Winroth (Yale University) and Matti Friedman for their helpful comments on various drafts of this paper. I would also like to thank Prof G&rard Giordanengo (emeritus, Ecole nationale des Chartes) and Prof. Frank Soetermeer for their help in earlier stages of my work on the feudal 'summae'. More than all, I am indebted to Prof Benjamin Z. Kedar (emeritus, Hebrew University) for having introduced me to John's works and for his generous guidance throughout my work on them. One paper has been devoted to John's canonical Summa: Martin Bertram, 'Johannes de Ancona: Ein Jurist des 13. Jahrhunderts in den Kreuzfahrer- staaten', BMCL 7 (1977) 49-64. This Summa was also briefly mentioned in other works: James A. Brundage, 'Latin Jurists in the Levant: The Legal Elite of the Crusader States', Crusaders and Muslims in Twelfth Century Syria, ed. Maya Shatzmiller (Leiden 1993) 25; Benjamin Z. Kedar, Crusade and Mission. European Approaches toward the Muslims (Princeton 1984) 170; Domenico Maffei, Giuristi medievali e falsificazioni editoriali del primo cinquecento (Frankfurt am Main 1979) 76-77. No work has been dedicated to the feudal 'summae'. Benjamin Z. Kedar presented it in a workshop which took place at the Institute of Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in July 1999. Otherwise it was referred to in legal history literature: Gerard Giordanengo, 'Les feudistes', El Dret Comi i Catalunya: Actes del JI.f Simposi Internacional Barcelona (Collecci6 Estudis 3; Barcelona 1992) 113-115, 118-119; Ennio Cortese, 'Domenico Maffei, Giuristi medievali e falsificazioni editoriali del primo Cinquecento' (review), Studi Medievali 22 (1981) 246-259; Maffei, Giuristi 58-59, 75-80; Eduard M.
