The barbarian law codes, compiled between the sixth and eighth centuries, were copied remarkably frequently in the Carolingian ninth century. They provide crucial evidence for early medieval society, including the settlement of disputes, the nature of political authority, literacy, and the construction of ethnic identities. Yet it has proved extremely difficult to establish why the codes were copied in the ninth century, how they were read, and how their rich evidence should be used. Thomas Faulkner tackles these questions more systematically than ever before, proposing new understandings of the relationship between the making of law and royal power, and the reading of law and the maintenance of ethnic identities. Faulkner suggests major reinterpretations of central texts, including the Carolingian law codes, the capitularies adding to the laws, and Carolingian revisions of earlier barbarian and Roman laws. He also provides detailed analysis of legal manuscripts, especially those associated with the leges-scriptorium.

Excerpt from The Cottage Physician for Individual and Family Use: Prevention, Symptoms and TreatmentThe study of medicine, not as an accomplishment, but as a subject Of the first importance to the individual, should be taken up by every one. The care Of our bodies is our first duty to ourselves. Self-preservation is the first law of Nature. In Obedience to that law all should learn from undoubted authorities how to preserve a healthful condition Of body, to ward Off disease, to care for and to feed the sick, as well as to render aid to the injured in emergencies. The need of this study is all the more emphasized by the statement upon the highest medical author ity that nearly all of our ailments are produced and propagated by either our own ignorance or our own carelessness.At no period Of the world's history have the people been so well quali fied to take up the study Of health as they are now. Physiology and other science subjects, taken up of late years in the schools of the country, have given a solid foundation upon which a sound knowledge of the human body and its needs may rest. This fact and the wonderful advances in medical science require that the subject be approached in a very different way from that which satisfied our immediate ancestors. Ten years have made a wonderful change in our knowledge of health and disease. Treatises that were excellent in their day now fail to meet the new conditions in so many respects that new and revised editions no longer satisfy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
