"This publication is an event, eagerly awaited and now exceeding expectation." Times Literary Supplement "The Making of English Law is the centurya s finest monograph in English on medieval law. It is also essential reading for those interested in continental law, in kingship and in early medieval rule and in Anglo--Saxon education...(an) outstanding work on the history of law." English Historical Review "The first volume of this long awaited work is a magisterial analysis of the manuscripts and texts of Anglo--Saxon laws." History "Wormalda s masterful analysis of early European legislation can and should be required reading for undergraduate and academic alike." Medium A vum "Just in time for the twenty--first century comes Patrick Wormalda s long--anticipated synthesis of years of research and fresh thinking to provide both neophytes and those with more advanced knowledge a comprehensive view of the history of scholarship on the laws, their continental relations, their physical preservation and context, and their significance as evidence. Wormald is well qualified for this ambitious undertaking and, as he threads his way through problematic issues such as the relationships among Frankish legal codes, he provides us with a sense of territory that simply cannot be found anywhere else ... Through tables, cross--references, maps, and formidable indexes, Wormald has made the book accessible and usable to anyone who has an interest in the origins of English law ... we are unlikely to see a comparable treatment of the subject for years to come." Mary P. Richards, University of Delaware "[Wormald] provides a wealth of primary material, often quoted verbatim in translation, and accompanied by twenty tables of structures, transmission, and contents of the codes, and the times and places of the councils which pronounced them ... Bound elegantly with copious footnotes, this is a monument to a scholara s lifetime work." Canadian Journal of History "This book is a great gift to scholarship of many kinds ... A further volume is promised ... but, even if this were to stand alone, it would put us all in great debt to its author." Arbitration Journal "In the last twenty years Wormald has been the most assiduous explorer in the area, his brilliant essays constituting individual expeditions into the territory. The Making of English Law represents the atlas ... Its breadth is astonishing; one moment describing the western European context of post--Roman law, the next subjecting nib widths to microscopic examination to identify the scribe who wrote quire signatures in English lawa s oldest manuscript. The results, great and small, change how we interpret preconquest law ... Wormalda s massive and brilliant study truly for the first time puts us in a position to know the history of the origins and early development of English law." Speculum
This volume, the first of two comprising The Making of English Law, provides the first full--length account of the Old English law--codes for over eighty years, and the first that has ever been published in the English language.
