Municipal Magdeburg Law (Ius municipale Magdeburgense) in Late Medieval Poland: A Study on the Evolution and Adaptation of Law: Medieval Law and Its Practice, cartea 30

Autor Maciej Mikuła
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 apr 2021
In this volume, Maciej Mikuła analyses the extant texts of the Ius municipale Magdeburgense, the most important collection of Magdeburg Law in late medieval Poland. He discusses the different translation traditions of the collection; the application of Magdeburg Law in cities; how differences between the versions could affect the application of the rights; and how the invention of printing influenced the principle of legal certainty. Mikuła ultimately shows that the differences between the texts not only influenced legal practice, but also bear out how complex the process was of the adaptation of Magdeburg Law.

Recenzii

'Mikuła’s book is a meticulously researched study which sheds light upon the reception of Magdeburg municipal law, or the Weichbild, in medieval Poland [...] Mikuła is a thorough researcher who is well-versed in the minute details of his texts. The wide array of manuscript sources he consulted, as well as the careful analysis of the text in each manuscript, are extraordinary. Mikuła’s project is ambitious and, fortunately, has uncovered information which might have gone unnoticed. Mikuła carefully demonstrates the evidence which led him to his conclusions, painstakingly tracing and tabulating all the evidence held within the manuscripts [...] Mikuła’s work is a meticulously researched study of a topic which has received little attention from scholars in the Anglophone world.'
