Reviews
'Until recently scholars have not devoted the same attention to the first millennium of law as they have to the law schools of the next millennium. Philip L. Reynolds' splendid volume restores some balance. He has assembled a superb group of scholars who presented the most important elements of law in the early Middle Ages, and had shaped medieval and early modern jurisprudence. This book is a treasure trove for the history of law.' Ken Pennington, Catholic University of America, Washington, DC 'An indispensable guide to key figures and legal concepts during the foundational age of Western, Christian, law. Essential reading for legal historians and theologians alike.' Caroline Humfress, University of St Andrews, Scotland
