Description

Explore a vital piece of legal history with The Vastgota Laws, part of the Routledge Medieval Translations series. This volume provides a detailed translation of the oldest Swedish provincial law codes, offering a direct look into early legal structures. Readers can examine the Older Vastgota Law from the first half of the thirteenth century, which represents the earliest known example of indigenous vernacular literacy using Latin script in Sweden. This text is essential for those studying the evolution of language and law in Northern Europe. In addition to the older version, this book includes a second, highly revised version preserved in a manuscript from the middle of the fourteenth century. The volume also contains translations of annotations and proposals from complex historical negotiations.
