Description
Las Siete Partidas, Volume 2 Medieval Government: The World of Kings and Warriors is a comprehensive law code compiled by Alfonso X the Learned of Castile in thirteenth-century Spain. This foundational work remains significant in modern Spanish law and has had a lasting impact on the legal systems of former colonies such as Texas, California, and Louisiana. First commissioned in 1931 by the American Bar Association, this English translation returns in a new edition with an updated general introduction and extensive introductions to each Partida. The work is presented in five volumes, covering various aspects of medieval life, including government, law, family, commerce, and social hierarchy. This edition provides critical historical material and updated bibliographical notes, offering unparalleled insight into the social, intellectual, and cultural history of medieval Spain.
