In Cum essem in Constantie, Martin John Cable presents a study of the Padua university jurist Raffaele Fulgosio (Fulgosius) (1367-1427) and his work as an advocate at the Council of Constance in 1414-15.
Through the use of archival material and evidence drawn from Fulgosio’s works, the book reveals a vivid picture both of teaching practice at a medieval university and the life and output of a working lawyer in early fifteenth-century Italy.
The book recreates much of Fulgosio’s workload at Constance and his involvement there in debates about representation, imperial and papal power and the Donation of Constantine.

"Martin Cable’s book “Cum essem in Constantie . . .”: Raffaele Fulgosio and the Council of Constance is an impressive work in medieval intellectual history. For its investigation into the life and teaching of Fulgosio, a law professor and later advocate at the Council of Con stance, the book utilizes the still underused genre of legal commentaries. It is indeed Fulgosio’s annotated anecdotes and references to particular law cases that he used during his lectures that loosely hold together the story Martin Cable unfolds... It should be of interest to a rather wide range of scholars who are concerned with late medieval university history, legal thought, and the history of the Council of Constance specifically or the conciliar movement more generally."
