Short CV:

Cervera (1960). He is a professor of History of Law and Institutions at the University of Barcelona (UB) and a teaching collaborator at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC). He has worked with research groups and projects of History of Law and, in parallel, with those from the IMF-CSIC focusing on medieval finances and taxation. Most of his research work is about the study of the legal configuration of the medieval municipality in Catalonia. More specifically, about the medieval origins of the municipality, focusing on the “universitas” or juridical personification of the body of neighbors (12^th – 13^th centuries); secondly, the municipal organization during the Late Middle Ages (13^th – 15^th centuries), particularly the organization, attributions and operation of the municipal council; thirdly, he has investigated in a particular and specific way the finance and taxation; fourthly, he has studied how did the Roman and canonical law (ius commune) produced in Europe from the 13^th century onwards influence the definition and organization of the medieval municipality, and lastly the author has edited some medieval normative sources linked to the municipal field.
