The Liber legis Scaniae: The Latin Text with Introduction,
Translation and Commentaries forms the second volume of The Danish
Medieval Laws and is dedicated to the Latin text based on the
Danish medieval Law of Scania. Also known as the "Old laws of
Scania", the Liber legis Scaniae is ascribed to Archbishop Anders
Sunesen and traditionally belongs to the corpus of Danish medieval
laws. It was translated from Old Danish in the thirteenth century
and until now has often been considered a subsidiary text. In this
book, the importance of the Liber legis Scaniae is reexamined and
its role in the first redaction of the Danish medieval laws is
revealed as far more central than previously thought. This is the
first time the text has been translated into English, and both the
original Latin and the new English translation are included
together. Beginning with a detailed introduction providing key
information about the text, its author and its place in Danish
legal history, and including a chapter dedicated to the Latin
language of the text, this book will be ideal for students and
scholars of medieval Scandinavian legal history. It also concludes
with an extensive Latin-to-English glossary.
