The Libri Feudorum (the âBooks of Fiefsâ)
An Annotated English Translation of the Vulgata recension with Latin Text
Series: - Medieval Law and Its Practice, Volume: 38
Author:
The Libri Feudorum (the âbooks of fiefsâ) are the earliest written body of feudal customs in Europe, codified in northern Italy c.1100-1250, which gave rise to feudal law as a branch of civil law. Their role in shaping modern ideas of feudalism has aroused an intense debate among medievalists, leading to deep re-thinking of the âfeudalâ vocabulary and categories.
This book offers an up-to-date English translation with a working Latin text introduced by a historical and historiographical overview of the Libri, thereby providing a valuable tool to understanding the long-standing importance of this collection over nine centuries of European history.
