Reviews

This volume is more than a translation of the medieval Danish laws. The introduction to the law texts is a masterpiece of the form, comprehensive and efficiently informative. It will engage the scholar, and instruct the student. The translation is reliable and natural given the usual difficulties that arise rendering local legal concepts in another language. The brief introduction to medieval Denmark, setting the more general background for the laws, is remarkable for how much information it conveys with crisp clarity.
