SummaryThis article is dedicated to the regulae iuris in general, and their role in medieval jurisprudence in particular. After providing a survey of the state-of-the-art literature on regulae and discussions surrounding them, the article provides arguments in support of the thesis that the use of existing regulae and the creation of new ones were an integral part of the method of medieval jurisprudence, itself part of the general medieval dialectical method of reasoning. The article also discloses the parameters and interesting preliminary results of an ongoing research project on regulae iuris in the University of Ghent.

中世纪的法律规则：统一还是不统一？

总结本文致力于一般的规则，特别是它们在中世纪法理学中的作用。在对有关规则的最新文献和围绕它们的讨论进行了调查之后，本文提供了支持这一论点的论据，即使用现有规则和创造新规则是方法的一个组成部分。中世纪的法理学本身就是一般中世纪辩证推理方法的一部分。该文章还披露了根特大学正在进行的一项关于规则的研究项目的参数和有趣的初步结果。
