Die juristischen Handschriften der Codices Palatini Latini in der Vatikanischen Bibliothek (Cod. Pal. lat. 621–813)
This volume presents the Latin legal manuscripts of the Bibliotheca Palatina, most of which are now in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. This collection has special value due to the manuscripts from Romanic countries it contains, which document the rediscovery and annotation of late antique legal writings and the systematisation of ecclesiastical law collections that shaped Europe from the High Middle Ages onwards. Other codices show close-ups of local practices and interests, for example in the form of codes of procedure, sample forms or personal text collections. The manuscripts cover the 9th to 16th centuries, but have their focus in the 13th to 15th centuries.
