First sentences: The series „Einfluss der Kanonistik auf die europäische Rechtskultur“, of which the present volume is the sixth and final, aims to demonstrate how canon law (and theology) have influenced not only norms and rules, but also the legal culture of practitioners and theorists of law in Europe. Nearly all manuals of the history of international law devote considerable attention to the contribution of theology to the jus ad bellum, but this approach is mostly constructed outside-in.
