Alfred the Great's domboc ('book of laws') is the longest and most ambitious legal text of the Anglo-Saxon period. Alfred places his own laws, dealing with everything from sanctuary to feuding to the theft of bees, between a lengthy translation of legal passages from the Bible and the legislation of the West-Saxon King Ine (r. 688-726), which rival his own in length and scope. This book is the first critical edition of the domboc published in over a century, as well as a new translation. Five introductory chapters offer fresh insights into the laws of Alfred and Ine, considering their backgrounds, their relationship to early medieval legal culture, their manuscript evidence and their reception in later centuries. Rather than a haphazard accumulation of ordinances, the domboc is shown to issue from deep reflection on the nature of law itself, whose effects would permanently alter the development of early English legislation

"En 1576 l'humaniste Antoine de Laval produit à partir du texte de l'édition princeps publiée la même année à Paris par l'exilé florentin Jacopo Corbinelli la première version en langue française des Ricordi de Francesco Guicciardini. La traduction répond à la nécessité, très vivante en France à la fin du XVIe siècle, de préparer une sorte de vademecum pour la formation du souverain, capable de fournir des modèles universels adaptables à des situations et des contextes disparates dans la pratique politique des ambassadeurs, des conseillers et des secrétaires. Dans un moment de crise du rôle et des fonctions de la souveraineté, Antoine de Laval offre une collection de préceptes pour la cour, afin de défendre l'unité et la stabilité de la monarchie."--Back cover
