In 1649 a Code of Laws was issued in Moscow completing, at least in
law, the process of enserfment of the Russian peasantry. This book
illustrates this process with fifty-six documents of the twelfth to
seventeenth centuries. They relate mainly to the central and
northern area of European Russia known, in the sixteenth century,
as Muscovy. An introductory note prefaces each document, placing it
in context and giving its source. An introduction partly
contributed by Professor Rodney Hilton discusses enserfment in
Eastern and Western Europe and explains why these particular
documents were chosen. There is a glossary explaining the main
technical terms found in the text. The book deals with a topic of
major historical importance and makes a collection of documents,
often of intrinsic interest, accessible to English readers.
