| Abstract | "The Gulathing law regulates relations between the social classes, the king and his officers, the clergy, and the peasantry. Parts of the law appear to be a social contract between two parties: on the one hand the people, on the other hand the church and the king. Accompanied by a translator's introduction and a commentary essay which place the Gulathinglaw in a theological and church history perspective, this volume will be useful for both students and specialists of medieval Norwegian legal history and medieval Scandinavian law"-- Provided by publisher. |
