Book Synopsis The Old English Penitentials and Anglo-Saxon Law by : Stefan Jurasinski
Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study of the four penitentials composed in Old English. This book argues that they are also important to our understanding of how written law developed in early England. This book considers their backgrounds and shows how they illuminate obscure passages in better-known Old English texts.
