Summary |
Legal formularies are books of model legal documents compiled by early medieval scribes for their own use and that of their pupils. By taking a fresh look at Frankish legal formularies from the Merovingian and Carolingian periods, this book provides a detailed analysis of the problems and possibilities associated with formularies. |
