Commentary to the Germanic Laws and Mediaeval Documents [1915]

Mehr zum Buch

The book challenges the established view of Germanic legal systems by arguing that they were largely derived from Roman law, based on a comprehensive study of records from the early Roman Empire to 1300. This provocative stance sparked debate among scholars, leading to the refutation of many of its claims. Nevertheless, it continues to be valued for its thought-provoking insights and detailed examination of source materials, contributing to ongoing discussions in legal history.
