Publisher's Synopsis
Commentary to the Germanic Laws and Mediaeval Documents is a book written by Leo Wiener and first published in 1915. The book is a comprehensive analysis and interpretation of the Germanic laws and medieval documents, including the laws of the Franks, Saxons, and Lombards, as well as the Salic and Ripuarian laws. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the Germanic laws and their historical context, while the second part offers a detailed commentary on the laws and documents themselves. Wiener's commentary is based on a thorough examination of the original texts, as well as on his extensive knowledge of the legal and cultural traditions of the Germanic peoples.Throughout the book, Wiener explores the development of Germanic law and its relationship to other legal systems, such as Roman law. He also examines the social and cultural context in which the laws were created and the ways in which they were enforced. Overall, Commentary to the Germanic Laws and Mediaeval Documents is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of law and legal systems in Europe. Wiener's insights and interpretations provide a deep understanding of the Germanic legal tradition and its significance for the development of Western law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
