Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commentary to the Germanic Laws and Mediaeval Documents Several years ago the study of the private and public documents of the Middle Ages, which I consulted for the etymology of difficult words, revealed to me a strange fact: the vast majority of words treated by the Germanic, Romance, and Slavic philologists had been studied with an utter disregard of documentary evidence. At every turn the facts belied the scientific deductions. Neither chronology nor phonetics were approximately correct in any given case. The starred forms never corresponded to the real variants in the earliest recorded documents. The semantic history of the words was not even attempted, or, if it was, it rarely hit upon the attested evolution of the meaning. Puzzled by this obvious discrepancy, I passed more than five years in analyzing and excerpting all the accessible documents, to the number of 250,000 or more, from the earliest times of the Roman Empire to the year 1300. When I finally arranged my material, and, in the light of the facts thus discovered studied the Germanic laws and everything that had been written on the subject, I was shocked to find that hardly a historical fact, hardly a law, had been ascertained in connection with the morphological and semantic development of intrinsic words. If the historian had to deal with a difficult word, he consulted the etymological dictionaries, and if the etymologist needed a historic fact in order to explain the meaning of a word, he consulted a historian. Thus there was created a vicious circle which produced Germanic, Romance, and Slavic philology. It was clear that the whole science of modem philology needed revision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Germanic Private Law All history, said the lamented master Maitland, in a memo rable epigram, is but a seamless web; and he who endeavors to tell but a piece of it must feel that his first sentence tears the fabric. This seamless web of our own legal history unites us inseparably to the history of Western and Southern Europe. Our main interest must naturally center on deciphering the pattern which lies directly before us, that of the anglo-american law. But in tracing the warp and woof of its structure we are brought inevi tably into a larger field of vision. The story of Western Continental Law is made up, in the last analysis, of two great movements, racial and intellectual. One is the Germanic migrations, planting a solid growth of Germanic custom everywhere, from Danzig to Sicily, from London to Vienna. The other is the posthumous power of Roman law, forever resisting, struggling, and coalescing with the other. A thousand detailed combinations, of varied types, are developed, and a dozen distinct systems now survive in independence. But the result is that no one of them can be fully understood without surveying and tracing the whole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions Toward a History of Arabico-Gothic Culture, Vol. 1 My Commentary to the Germanic Laws and M ediaeval Documents has provoked a storm of indignation among those from whose printed conclusions I differ on the basis Of documentary evidence. This is only as it should be, and my sole regret is that my critics have used language Of such a general character that I am not able to reply to them without being drawn into a dis cussion Of personalities quite beside the point at issue. I am, however, confident that many Of my critics will experience a change Of heart after becoming acquainted with the sum total of my mediaeval investigations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Law and Politics in the Middle Ages: With a Synoptic Table of Sources The Middle Ages are Middle only in a sense. They are Middle to us, whom a long-established tradition has taught to regard History as beginning with the foundation of Rome, and the emergence into political life of the Grecian States. But in another, and important sense, they are very Early Ages indeed. They are the foundation epoch of that group of communities, so alike in essentials, so manifestly different in detail, which, for want of a better name, we call Teutonic, and which at the present day control the destinies, not only of Western Europe, but of lands beyond the great seas, of which their founders never dreamed. They have produced a civilization wholly unlike any civilization which has preceded it, a civilization which, on its political side at least, is not only the latest, but, as there is sober reason to believe, the best in the world's history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions Toward a History of Arabico-Gothic Culture, Vol. 3 My Commentary to the Germanic Laws and Mediaeval Documents, I must confess, suffers from a serious draw back - it is too conservative. When I wrote it, I was dimly conscious of the geological fault underlying the structure of' Germanic history, philology, palaeo graphy, and allied subjects, but I could not tear myself away from many accepted scientific conclusions, be cause it had not occurred to me that the stupendous scientific structure was reared exclusively on a foun dation that would collapse the moment the geological fault led to an earthquake. Therefore I quoted Taci tus, Jordanes, and Auxentius as authorities, or, at least, did not disturb the conclusions to which they led. As my investigation proceeded, it became clearer and clearer that there was something wrong in the cherished authors, but I was totally unable to account for the positive references to Goths in the Greek authors, such as Procopius, and in the Greek synax aries and martyrologies. It seemed incredible that such a distant subject as that dealing with the Goths, who had little in common with the Greeks, should have found its way so permanently into Greek thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction: We need not be surprised, then, that in the Middle Ages also there were rulers who aspired to supreme political and temporal power. The truly exceptional thing is that in medieval times there were always at least two claimants to the role, each commanding a formidable apparatus of government, and that for century after century neither was able to dominate the other completely, so that the duality persisted, was eventually rationalized in works of political theory and ultimately built into the structure of European society. This situation profoundly influenced the development of Western constitutionalism.
