Critiques

Katharine Fischer Drew was a delightful, albeit demure, lady and thorough translator, but the Lombard laws are hardly the fodder of great literature.

A primary source for a medievalist trying to understand the goings on within the Lombard realm, you're going to find tidbits of interest interlaced with the mind-boggingly repetitive stuff of law.

Nice little book that presents a readable translation of Lex Burgundia. A little history is provided along with intelligent commentary by Dr. Drew. The reader does not need any Latin to appreciate and enjoy.

HOWEVER-- the Code (Lex Burgundia) itself is a little dull and I think someone interested in this topic might do better with the more lively Lombard Laws (Rothair's Edict) which is available in translation by Dr. Drew.
