Ebook: Feder und Recht: Schriftlichkeit und Gerichtswesen in der Vormoderne

Writing and orality shaped the judiciary of the premodern era. Written elements became increasingly important, without overshadowing orality, particularly in the judicial decision-making process. The chapters in this volume shed light on the interplay between the written and oral elements of proceedings from the perspective of general and legal history, as well as an archival point of view, extending to the digital indexing of court records.
