Control of Supreme Courts in Early Modern Europe.

Der vorliegende Band ist das Ergebnis zweier Workshops, die sich inhaltlich mit der Kontrolle der Höchstgerichte im Europa der Frühen Neuzeit beschäftigen. Dabei wurde in den einzelnen Vorträgen untersucht, welche Mechanismen von Kontrolle begrifflich und inhaltlich in der Frühen Neuzeit gegriffen haben und welche Akteure dabei tätig waren. Die Vortragenden beleuchteten dabei die Situation im Heiligen Römischen Reich, der iberischen Halbinsel, Schottland und Schweden.

The volume is the result of two workshops that dealt with the control of the highest courts in early modern Europe. The individual lectures examined which mechanisms of control in terms of concept and content were used in the early modern period and which actors were involved. The speakers considered the situation in the Holy Roman Empire, the Iberian Peninsula, Scotland and Sweden. A contribution defining control from a jurisprudential point of view, serves as an introduction.
