Mittelalterliches nordisches Recht bis 1500: Eine Quellenkunde

Medieval Nordic legal sources are to be found across a wide area, from Greenland, Iceland and the Scandinavian countries to Finland and Russia. The acceptance of Christianity led to decisive changes in these legal sources, the polity, private law and everyday life. This volume considers sources from Greenland to Kiev and explains how they came about, as well as reviewing their content and their further development until about AD 1500. It presents for the first time a consistent picture of medieval Nordic legal sources.
