Law has been a primary locus and vehicle of contact across human
history-as a system of ideas embodied in people and enacted on
bodies; and also as a material, textual, and sensory "thing." The
seven essays gathered here analyze a variety of legal encounters on
the medieval globe, ranging from South Asia to South and Central
America, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Contributors uncover
the people behind and within legal systems and explore various
material expressions of law that reveal the complexity and
intensity of cross-cultural contact in this pivotal era. Topics
include comparative jurisprudence, sumptuary law, varieties of
punishment, forms of documentation and legal knowledge, religious
law, and encounters between imperial and indigenous legal systems.
A featured source preserves an Ethiopian king's legislation against
traffic in Christian slaves, resulting from the intensifying
African slave trade of the sixteenth century.
