CASTRO AYALA, José Guillermo. The symbolic importance of Law and the foundations of the Ius Utrumque. Prolegómenos [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.46, pp.121-131. ISSN 0121-182X.  https://doi.org/10.18359/prole.4308.

This article offers a reading of the acceptance of Roman law in the European legal systems since the High Middle Ages. Gregory VII's reforms, the role of the Bologna school, the search for systematization of canon law and the rediscovery of the enormous sources of Roman law were the starting point for a process of rationalization of law that retains the symbolic character that canon law possessed. This allowed the expansion of legal elements throughout Europe that formed a common denominator for the time: the Ius Utrumque.

Keywords : Ius Utrumque; acculturation; Roman law; Canon law; Corpus Iuris Civilis.
