Abstract

The act of saying the law (iurisdictio) was the political concreteness in the Middle Ages. The importance of that act in the exercise of power attains some levels as such the theoretical from which we know the thought of the main jurists of that time. Between the XIIth and the XIIIth centuries, Bologna was the center of reference for law studies to which were connected some of the most important names of the recently born kingdom of Portugal. Silvestre Godinho and Vicentius Hispanus are some of the most famous ones that represent those exchanges in the juridical culture domain. In this article we intend to present some problems of research about the intertwining of the concept of iurisdictio issued from Bologna and how it was appropriated/experienced in the Portuguese political scenario.
