A major source for the history of early medieval Europe, they document social relations beyond the narrow world of the political elite. Formularies offer much information regarding the lives of ordinary people: sales and gifts of land, divorces, adoptions, and disputes over labour as well as theft, rape or murder. Until now, the use of formularies as a historical source has been hampered by severe methodological problems, in particular through the difficulty of establishing a precise chronological or geographical context for them. By examining Frankish legal formularies from the Merovingian and Carolingian periods, this book provides an invaluable, detailed analysis of the problems and possibilities associated with formularies, and will be required reading for scholars of early medieval history. 410 0$aCambridge studies in medieval life and thought ;$v4th ser., 75. 517 3 $aLegal Practice & the Written Word in the Early Middle Ages 606 $aLaw, Frankish$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aFormularies (Diplomatics)$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aForms (Frankish law)$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLaw, Frankish$vSources 615 0$aLaw, Frankish$xHistory 615 0$aFormularies (Diplomatics) 615 0$aForms (Frankish law)$xHistory 615 0$aLaw, Frankish 676 $a340.5/5 686 $a86.10$2bcl 686 $a15.70$2bcl 700 $aRio$b Alice$0752277 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777982603321 996 $aLegal practice and the written word in the early middle ages$93838222 997 $aUNINA
