Abstract

Most law librarians are not familiar with medieval European law and legal literature. Their importance in legal history, however, is such that questions concerning these topics do arise in academic law libraries. This paper provides an introduction to the field which, as conceived of here, includes late Roman codifications, folk laws, feudal law, thirteenth to fifteenth century developments in France, Germany, and England, plus the reemergence of Roman law and legal literature. Part one is a narrative survey of the main elements, while part two will be a selective, annotated bibliography.
