Westrogothic law

Westrogothic law

Extracted from the Wikipedia article Västgötalagen.

This legal code exists in two versions, Äldre Västgötalagen and Yngre Västgötalagen (the Elder and Younger Westrogothic law, respectively). A first printing in modern times was published by Hans Samuel Collin and Carl Johan Schlyter in 1827 (which made the text the subject of the earliest known stemma), and a new edition by Gösta Holm in 1976.
