Leges Burgundionum. [Latin]

By Heinrich Heine

Leges Burgundionum is a critical edition of the law code of the Burgundians, a Germanic people who established a kingdom in what is now southeastern France and western Switzerland during the 5th century CE. Compiled under King Gundobad in the late 5th or early 6th century, this legal text provides invaluable insights into the social, political, and legal structures of the Burgundian kingdom. This edition, edited by Heinrich Heine, offers a meticulously prepared version of the Latin text, essential for scholars of medieval law, history, and Germanic studies.

The 'Leges Burgundionum' reflects a blend of Roman legal traditions and Germanic customary law, offering a unique perspective on the development of legal systems in post-Roman Europe. It covers a wide range of legal matters, including property rights, inheritance, marriage, and criminal offenses. This edition remains an important resource for understanding the legal and cultural landscape of the early Middle Ages.
