Jonathan R. Lyon Ordine dei libri

Focusing on the role of advocates, this book challenges the conventional view of a clear transition from medieval feudalism to modern governance in Europe. It argues for continuity in corrupt practices surrounding justice and protection from 750 to 1800, highlighting how these practices persisted despite the evolving political landscape. By examining this historical timeframe, the author sheds light on the complexities of legal and social systems that remained influential throughout the centuries.
