Contents Description:

The first translation of the Liber Augustalis from Latin into a modern language makes one of the most important sources for medieval legal and social history available to a wide audience. These constitutions reveal not merely the warp and woof of the fabric of life in the Kingdom of Siciely but also help us to understand better some of the social and political changes that affected most of Western Europe. - from the inside flap
