Recenzii

'Written by two leading specialists in early medieval legal studies, this book offers a rigorous re-evaluation of West Saxon law in its historical context, together with a new edition that will undoubtedly become a primary source of reference in the field.' Carole Hough, University of Glasgow
'This impressive new edition of Alfred's laws locates them, all 120 clauses, more fully than before within the 'Alfredian achievement'. Its editors bring to their task a mastery of relevant literature, not just historical studies but, because their training was primarily literary and linguistic, a deep knowledge of the whole Old English corpus.' Paul Hyams, Cornell University
'Come for the critical edition and stay for the commendable exegesis of Alfred's prologue and laws. Jurasinski and Oliver's masterful work is bound to become the definitive scholarly edition. It will be an essential text for scholars of Old English literature as well as legal historians interested in the medieval reception of the domboc and its later life in the age of print.' Elizabeth Papp Kamali, Harvard Law School
'This book will transform the field of early English law. Jurasinski and Oliver's excellent critical edition provides faithful, readable translations in modern English alongside meticulously researched contextual essays. The Laws of Alfred makes the complete ninth-century text newly accessible to specialists and students alike.' Nicole Marafioti, Trinity University
