"Ecclesiastical institutions and actors were essential for the formation of normative orders in early modern Ibero-America. However, both legal historiography, due to its strong legalistic, state-centred imprint, and general historiography on colonial times, more inclined towards secular law, have only rarely discussed the contribution of ecclesiastical normativity to the formation of that normative texture which, in the historiographical tradition, has been called ‘derecho indiano’. In light of this situation, the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History has organised a series of seminars in different Latin American cities in order to offer an interdisciplinary forum dedicated to the research of ‘ecclesiastical normativities and institutions in Ibero-America’ between the 16th and 19th centuries. The present volume is the first in a series of publications that document the results of this cycle of seminars celebrated in Mexico City, Lima, Bogotá and São Paulo. The book, focusing on New Spain, is divided into five thematic parts. The first section presents investigations on canon law and moral theology that deal with characteristic aspects of multinormativity and the teaching of those disciplines in early modern times. The second section examines diocesan governance and ecclesiastical power in Mexico City and Puebla via statutes of the cathedral chapter, members of the ‘curia arzobispal’ and pertinent legal opinions. In the third section, the contributors reflect on the normativity and administration of sacraments, drawing on conciliar norms, treatises, pragmatic literature but as well on registers of baptisms and confessions. The fourth section deals with ethnic groups in courts of justice, both civil and ecclesiastic ones: indigenous people accused of ‘hechicería’ in a tribunal of Tlaxcala and Afro-Mexicans who started litigation in the archiepiscopal court of Mexico. The articles of the fifth section cover the topics of beatification, devotion and cultural expressions (music, images) from a normative perspective and extend the period of investigation to the 19th century. The articles on ecclesiastical institutions and normativities in New Spain collected in this volume propose new research fields for legal history and the history of the Church, which at the same time are relevant for social and cultural history. The editors’ purpose has been to present approaches that explore the relationship between different types of normativities, their local adaptations, the ties with global debates, the forms of solving conflicts, as well as the role of jurists, theologians and other actors. The topics discussed by the authors represented in this volume – who cultivate the disciplines of history, legal history, church history, ethnohistory, art history and the history of music – contribute to a better understanding of the normative religious universe in Spanish America."

Soonil Hwang studies the doctrinal development of nirvana in the Pali Nikaaya and subsequent tradition and compares it with the Chinese aagama and its traditional interpretation. He clarifies early doctrinal developments of Nirvana and traces the word and related terms back to their original metaphorical contexts, elucidating diverse interpretations and doctrinal and philosophical developments in the abhidharma exegeses and treatises of Southern and Northern Buddhist schools. The book finally examines which school, if any, kept the original meaning and reference of Nirvana.

Au fil des différentes sessions d’un cycle de journées d’études consacrées par le Laboratoire de recherche historique Rhône-Alpes à l’antiromanisme catholique - Antiromanisme doctrinal et romanité ecclésiale dans le catholicisme posttridentin, Anti-infaillibilisme catholique et romanité ecclésiale aux temps posttridentins, Antiromanisme et critique dans l’historiographie catholique (xvie-xxe siècles) et L’antiromanisme dans l’historiographie ecclésiastique catholique (xvie-xxe siècles) -, le constat s’est imposé d’une présence massive de la culture juridique dans le discours porté par les tenants d’un catholicisme antiromain, qu’ils soient juristes ou non. Le fait n’a rien d’étonnant dans la mesure où l’ecclésiologie catholique s’est toujours placée à l’intersection du droit et de la théologie. Nombre d’auteurs qui ont illustré la tradition de l’antiromanisme catholique et juridictionaliste étaient à la fois juristes et théologiens compétents - ainsi de Paolo Sarpi ou de Marc’Antonio De Dominis, ainsi des grands noms qui ont illustré le fébronianisme et le joséphisme. Ce volume qui rassemble les communications de la cinquième session du cycle propose d’aborder frontalement la question des rapports entretenus entre le droit et l’opposition catholique à la romanité ecclésiale en évoquant les grandes figures de la tradition du catholicisme antiromain qui ont fait au droit une grande place dans leur argumentation, en relevant le rôle des canonistes catholiques qui ont pu faire parfois le choix de s’opposer aux prétentions romaines et en étudiant les grands thèmes où se mêlent étroitement arguments juridico-canoniques et hostilité catholique aux revendications du Saint-Siège - ainsi du conciliarisme, des compétences de l’autorité civile en matières ecclésiastiques, de l’infaillibilité pontificale ou encore du mariage et des empêchements dirimants.

Ecclesiastical institutions and actors were essential for the formation of normative orders in early modern Ibero-America. In a series of seminars, organised by the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History in Mexico City, Lima, Bogotá and São Paulo, scholars from different disciplines presented innovative studies on the history of religious normativity and its practices. Based upon the Lima colloquium, the present volume focuses on the viceroyalty of Peru (16th-19th centuries).
