The barbarian law codes, compiled between the sixth and eighth
centuries, were copied remarkably frequently in the Carolingian
ninth century. They provide crucial evidence for early medieval
society, including the settlement of disputes, the nature of
political authority, literacy, and the construction of ethnic
identities. Yet it has proved extremely difficult to establish why
the codes were copied in the ninth century, how they were read, and
how their rich evidence should be used. Thomas Faulkner tackles
these questions more systematically than ever before, proposing new
understandings of the relationship between the making of law and
royal power, and the reading of law and the maintenance of ethnic
identities. Faulkner suggests major reinterpretations of central
texts, including the Carolingian law codes, the capitularies adding
to the laws, and Carolingian revisions of earlier barbarian and
Roman laws. He also provides detailed analysis of legal
manuscripts, especially those associated with the
leges-scriptorium.
