Over the course of the Middle Ages and the early modern period, topics such as judgement, jurisdiction, law and justice were shaped within the context of the constant dialogue between legal scholarship and moral theology. The chapters in this volume trace some of the interwoven threads of this history by focusing on applicable law in Hispano-America (derecho indiano). The examination of these interconnections reveals specific aspects of the regalist approach to the relationship between secular and ecclesiastical power in the early modern era, in particular the institutions that shaped it in the Spanish overseas territories between the 16th and 18th centuries.
