chief magistrate to grant divorce is originally a right of
episcopal dispensation, and that his authority is not superseded
by the imperial law of 1875. On the controversy growing
out of this dual question see Meurer, _Das landesherrliche
Ehescheidungsrecht_ (Freiburg, 1891); and compare Scheurl, "Die
Ablösung des Eherechts von dem Kirchenrecht," in _ZKR._, XIII
(Tübingen, 1876); Buchka, "Das Eheschliessungsrecht," _ibid._,
XVI; Sicherer, _Personnenstand und Eheschliessung_ (Erlangen,
1879); the two dissertations of Wasserschleben, each entitled
_Das Ehescheidungsrecht kraft landesh. Machtvollkommenheit_
(Giessen, 1877; Berlin, 1880); and Hinschius, _Das Reichsgesetz_
(3d ed., 1890). On the rise of the early consistorial courts
see especially Mejer, "Anfänge des Wittenberger Consistoriums,"
in _ZKR._, XIII (Tübingen, 1876); _idem_, "Zur Geschichte des
ältesten protest. Eherechts," _ibid._, XVI (Tübingen, 1881);
both articles being reprinted with other matter in his _Zum
Kirchenrecht des Reformationsjahrhunderts_ (Hanover, 1891).
Since the Reformation the questions of the proper grounds
of divorce and of the remarriage of divorced persons have
given rise to perennial discussion. Among the many writings
so produced may be mentioned Gerlach, _Kirchenrechtliche
Untersuchung_ (Erlangen, 1839); Savigny, "Darstellung der
in den preuss. Gesetzen über die Ehescheidung unternommenen
Reform," in _Vermischte Schriften_, V (Berlin, 1850); Müller,
_Ueber Ehescheidung und Wiederverehlichung geschiedener Gatten_
(Berlin, 1855); Hundrich, _Ueber Ehen und Scheidungen_ (Breslau,
1855); Seidler, _Beiträge zur Reform der preuss. Gesetzgebung_
(Nordhausen, 1861); Hoyer, _Die Ehescheidungsfrage_ (Berlin,
1859); Scheurl, _Zur praktischen Lösung der Ehescheidungsfrage_
(Nürnberg, 1861); Harless, _Die Ehescheidungsfrage_ (Stuttgart,
1861); Bräunig, _Das Recht der Ehescheidung_ (Zwickau, 1861);
Huschke, _Was lehrt Gottes Wort über die Ehescheidung?_ (Leipzig
and Dresden, 1860); _idem_, _Beleuchtung der Einwürfe gegen
meine Schrift_ (Leipzig and Dresden, 1861). Among the many
Latin dissertations on the subject are Majer, _De separatione
cohabitationis_ (Tübingen, 1675); Eckstein, _De divortio ex
causa desertionis_ (Tübingen, 1675); Wagner, _De divortio,
et convictus conjugalis separatione_ (Magdeburg, 1723);
Memminger, _De divortio propter insidias vitae structas_
(Halle, 1738); Struvvius, _De jure divortiorum_ (Jena, 1735);
Seiff, _De divortio totali_ (Giessen, 1740); Mossheim, _De
divortio_ (Jena, 1737, 1773); Scopp, _Tractatus, de jure
divortiorum_ (Frankfort and Leipzig, 1756); Wunderlich, _De
separatione a thoro et mensa_ (Jena, 1774); and especially
