Das Gesetz - The Law - La Loi

by Andreas Speer (Editor), Guy Guldentops (Editor)

Overview

This volume examines how the notion of law was transformed and reformulated during the Middle Ages. It focuses on encounters between ancient and local legal traditions and the three great revelation religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – each of which understood the written word of God as law and formulated new cultures. The work thus furnishes interdisciplinary and intercultural insight into medieval legal discourse.
