A quick definition of vulgaris purgatio:

Term: VULGARIS PURGATIO

Definition: Vulgaris purgatio is a Latin term used in law that means "common purgation." It refers to a legal process where a group of people, usually twelve, swear under oath to tell the truth about a matter in dispute. This process was used in medieval times as a way to settle disputes and determine the truth of a matter. It is similar to a modern-day jury trial, where a group of people are selected to hear evidence and make a decision based on the facts presented.

A more thorough explanation:

VULGARIS PURGATIO

Vulgaris purgatio is a Latin term used in law that means "common purgation." It refers to a type of oath-taking where a group of people collectively swear to the truth of a statement or accusation.

An example of vulgaris purgatio would be if a group of witnesses were asked to collectively swear that they saw a defendant commit a crime. Another example would be if a group of people were asked to swear that they did not steal something.

These examples illustrate how vulgaris purgatio works. Instead of each individual taking an oath, a group takes the oath together. This was a common practice in medieval times when it was difficult to determine the truth of a statement or accusation. By having a group swear to the truth, it was believed that the likelihood of lying or perjury was reduced.
