Book Synopsis Law and the Illicit in Medieval Europe by : Ruth Mazo Karras
Book excerpt: In the popular imagination, the Middle Ages are often associated with lawlessness. However, historians have long recognized that medieval culture was characterized by an enormous respect for law and legal procedure. This book makes the case that one cannot understand the era's cultural trends without considering the profound development of law.
