Ancient Codes of Spain: Complete Collection of Spain's Historical Legal Codes

A monumental compilation of Spain's principal historical legal codes, edited by Marcelo Martínez Alcubilla. Published in two substantial volumes, this work traces the development of Spanish law from the Fuero Juzgo to the Novísima Recopilación, while also including a glossary of archaic legal terminology, explanatory notes, detailed indexes, and a comprehensive alphabetical subject index. Among the legal texts reproduced are the Fuero Viejo de Castilla, Fuero Real, Leyes del Estilo, Las Siete Partidas, Ordenamiento de Alcalá, Leyes de Toro, the Nueva Recopilación, and the Novísima Recopilación. An essential reference for legal historians, academic libraries, collectors of antiquarian law books, and scholars of medieval and early modern Spanish law.
