Das Kleine Kaiserrecht

"The edition of the main manuscript of the Small Imperial Law from the Princely Library Corvey presented here brings for the first time the complete text of this legal book from the middle of the 14th century, which will be decisive for future research. In addition, all 50 other manuscripts, fragments and excerpts received are presented in a color image and a brief description, and a text grouping is carried out. The naming, dating, sources and effects of the legal book as well as the suspected author, Rudolf von Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen, provide necessary and surprising background information."--Provided by publisher.
