The first section of the book contains an overview of the charitable sector in Canada, a sociological review of altruism in different societies, a discussion of altruism in various philosophical and religious traditions, an economic analysis of "rational voluntarism," and an assessment of the relationship between the charitable sector and the welfare state. The second section contains five papers on the legal definition of charity, both general (the jurisprudence of the Federal Court of Appeal and a proposal for rethinking the concept of "public benefit"), and particular (the political purposes doctrine, religion as charity, and a commentary on the recent major Supreme Court decision on the meaning of charity). The third section deals with the tax status of charities: two papers evaluate the current tax credit system and one deals with the administration of charities by the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. The final section contains essays on charities and commercial enterprise, on the regulation of fund-raising, and on needed reforms in non-profit corporation law. At a time when the federal government is about to embark on a wide range of policy initiatives to assist and regulate the non-profit sector, these essays are necessary reading for anyone concerned with the future of the charitable sector in Canada. Contributors include Neil Brooks (Osgoode Hall Law School), Cara Cameron (McGill), Bruce Chapman, Kevin Davis (Toronto), Abraham Drassinower (Toronto), David Duff (Toronto), Richard Janda (McGill), Will Kymlicka (Queen's), Andrée Lajoie (Montreal), Mayo Moran (Toronto), Charles-Maxime Panaccio (office of Mr Justice Charles Gonthier), Jim Phillips, Jane Allyn Piliavin (Wisconsin-Madison), David Sharpe (Attorney-General's Office, New York State), Lorne Sossin (Osgoode Hall Law School), David Stevens, and Jen-Chieh Ting (Academia Sinica).

This book covers the period from the Reformation to the end of Lord Eldon's Chancellorship when the modern law of charity had taken a definite shape. Mr Jones shows how the contemporary religious, economic and social pressures moulded the substantive law and illustrates the importance of procedural considerations in defining the limits of legal charity.

Mit seinen Studien zum mittelalterlichen Stiftungswesen hat Michael Borgolte seit den achtziger Jahren eine sozialgeschichtliche Wende in der Stiftungsforschung der Vormoderne herbeigeführt. Maßgeblich war dabei die Einsicht, dass der Zweck der Stiftung, die Memoria des Stifters oder anderer von ihm benannter Personen auf Dauer zu sichern, nicht durch eine juristische Konstruktion, sondern nur durch den Austausch von Gabe und Gegengabe gesichert werden konnte. Der Initiator beziehungsweise die Verwalter seiner Stiftung und die Empfänger der Stiftungserträge standen in einem Verhältnis gegenseitiger Verpflichtungen, das oft über Jahrhunderte hin durch immer neue Aktualisierungen des Stifterwillens lebendig blieb. Mit diesem Ansatz hat Michael Borgolte Stiftungen des Mittelalters weit über das liturgische Gedenken hinaus untersucht und besonders karitativen und wissenschaftlichen Stiftungszwecken Beachtung geschenkt. Das Studium der Stiftungen eignet sich aber auch zur Erkenntnis einer Gesellschaft in ihren Zusammenhängen; deshalb beschrieb er Stiftung als "totales System" und untersuchte das Verhältnis von "Stiftung und Staat" oder "Stiftung und Mäzenatentum". In neueren Abhandlungen hat Michael Borgolte interkulturelle Vergleiche in dia- wie synchroner Dimension angestellt, zwischen dem vormodernen und dem neueren Stiftungswesen ebenso, wie zwischen den lateinisch-christlichen, byzantinischen, russisch-orthodoxen, jüdischen und vor allem muslimischen Stiftungen des mittelalterlichen Jahrtausends. Die hier vorgelegte Sammlung seiner wichtigsten Aufsätze und Beiträge bieten deshalb keinen Abschluss, sondern eher eine Zwischenbilanz auf dem Weg zu einer Universalgeschichte des vormodernen Stiftungswesens.
