Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Centuries before the arrival of the Vikings, Stone Age farmers on the western edge of Europe developed a complex system of laws known as the Brehon code. Written down in the medieval period, these are amongst the oldest surviving non-Roman legal documents and offer a fascinating insight into the functioning of pre-Christian Celtic society. At the core of this civilization was a public assembly where laws were debated, altered, enforced, and applied by the free, armed citizenry in attendance. The sophisticated system of commerce and property ownership described in this book reveals a society far removed from the popular perception of primitive barbarism. Scholarship on this ancient European society is relatively recent, but this book draws on the extensive and ongoing work of historians and linguists to throw much -needed light on the Brehon code and the societal foundations it governed. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781528201995_0
