Transfer tradycji. Zmiany prawa na Bałkanach

Not all legal traditions display necessarily the same linear stability as the western tradition in its central sector. For instance the Balkans, which are now generally considered to form a sub-tradition of the western one, were originally subjected to the Byzantine influence. Together with the Christianization by the orthodox Church of Byzantium, they received simplified versions of Roman-Byzantine law. However, in the middle of the 15th century the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans brought the Byzantine millennium to an end. This conquest could not force the Muslim law upon the Balkan population, which in great prevalence retained its Christian faith, but on the other hand it did isolate the region for centuries from any western influence. The gradual retreat of the Ottomans occurred only during the 19th century. From this moment on, the original legal systems of the Balkans, which were mummified under the Ottoman occupation, revealed themselves unsuitable for the needs of capitalist economy. It is the reason why in the Balkan countries during the 19th century, alongside with the expansion of capitalism, the massive reception of western codifications and constitutions took place.

Values are present not only in law and politics, but also in respective branches of scholarship. Interestingly, already in antiquity even parts of world were con- sidered as value-laden. Already by then, prevailed the bad opinion about the East, represented by Byzantium. As from the ruins of the Western Roman Empire the Europe of Charlemagne emerged, beyond its eastern border a “new” Europe appeared which inherited all the negative features of the East, first of all the economic, moral and legal backwardness. It is the West of Europe, where west- ern civilization and western legal tradition come from. They were assimilated by Poland through its Christianization in the 10 thcentury and through German colonization in the 12–13 thcentury. Poland became in this way a kind of “East of the West”, but the German “bearer of culture” was considered in Eastern Europe directly an advocate of the Occident. Only in two isolated cases Poland overtook Western Europe: the dispute of Paulus Vladimiri against the Teutonic Knights at the council of Constance (1414–1418) and the promulgation of the May constitu- tion in 1791. However, in most cases also within the borders of Europe the West revealed itself unable to learn from the rest.
