    “There are works whose publication marks a true turning point in a field of knowledge. We are faced here with one of these cases.” The opening lines of the preface by Francesco Di Donato and Michel Troper to this edition succinctly convey the full importance of the text translated here into French for the first time by Ortenzio Zecchino. Through a meticulous and nuanced study of the sources, the author introduces us to one of the major debates in law: the opposition between natural law and positive law, as seen through the conflict between the Holy Roman Empire and the Papacy. He shows us how Frederick II Hohenstaufen, by contrasting the “natural law” invoked by Gregory IX with a political law in action, laid the foundations of the modern theory of “positive law.” Following in the footsteps of Kantorowicz, the author highlights the major intellectual rupture that this debate represents. In comparison to French authors, he also emphasizes its precedence over similar assertions made by the jurists of Philip the Fair. This work, through its subtle interplay between medieval, modern, and contemporary law, constitutes an essential reflection on Western law. It is presented here in a translation, supplemented and expanded from the second edition of its Italian version published in 2018.
