Dr. Christoph Cluse is senior researcher at the Arye Maimon Institute for Jewish History of Trier University. His main fields of interest are in the history of Christian-Jewish relations during the high and later medieval periods. He is currently co-directing, together with Lukas Clemens, a project on the vulnerability and resilience of post-1350 Jewry in central Europe, with in the DFG Research Group 2539, ‘Resilience‘.

Rowan Dorin is a historian of western Europe and the Mediterranean who gained his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2015 with a study on the ‘Expulsion of Foreign Moneylenders in Medieval Europe, 1200–1450’, in which he analysed the influence of new developments in canon law on the politics of European rulers. He has since taken on a post as Assistant Professor of History at Stanford University. Several articles of his have appeared in high-profile journals.

Prof. Dr. Thomas Rüfner is professor of civil law, Roman law, modern legal history, and German and International procedural law at Trier University. His main research interests lie in the fields of Roman inheritance law and legal procedure, and in the reception of Roman law in medieval Europe and the modern world. In the context of the DFG Research Group 2539, he is currently directing a research project on the use of Roman law as a resource in situations of societal disruption during the late medieval period.

The Research Group 2539 ‘Resilience’ was established by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in 2016. Its work focuses on understanding to what extent the concept of resilience, which examines potentials of coping, adaptation, and transformation, can be transferred to analyses in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

The one-day workshop is designed as a reading experience, taking participants through the genres of consilia and learned treatises written from the vantage points of canon law (Giovanni da Legnano), Roman law (Bartolomeo de Bosco), and theology (Henry of Langenstein).
