Abstract

The so-called Epitome Guelferbitana of the Lex Romana Visigothorum, or (Alaric's) Breviary, has survived, following the oldest version of the Lex Salica, in a manuscript from about 760 ad, now in Wolfenbüttel. The Epitome probably originates from mid 6th century in northern Burgundy, and may have been drafted by an instructor of law. It stands out thanks to its practical handling of the later Roman law at that time and environment, adapting traditional regulations to contemporary demands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
