| Summary: | The principal figure in the renaissance of Roman law in the late eleventh twelfth century was Irnerius of Bologna (ca. 1055-ca. 1130). Transcending the legal debates of his day, Irnerius sought to clarify fundamental legal principles by using available exegetical tools on the Justinian Corpus. In doing so he established the groundwork for the philosophy and theology of law that developed during the twelfth century. This article highlights key elements of Irnerius’s method and provides example of his attention to legal principles of aequitas, iustitia, and ius. La figure principale de la renaissance du droit romain à la fin du XIe siècle était Irnerius de Bologne (v. 1055-v. 1130). En voulant transcender les débats juridiques de son époque, Irnerius a cherché à clarifier des principes juridiques fondamentaux. Afin de le faire, il a utilisé des outils exégétiques disponibles pour lire le Corpus Justinien. Ce faisant il a établi les bases de la philosophie et de la théologie du droit développées au cours du XIIe siècle. Cet article met en évidence les éléments clés de la méthode d’Irnerius et donne un exemple de son attention aux principes juridiques de l’aequitas, l’iustitia et l’ius. |
