A major thirteenth-century Spanish law code whose tenets can still be found in the state laws of California, Texas, and Louisiana.
Robert I. Burns, S.J., is a senior professor of history at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Director of the Institute of Medieval Mediterranean Spain in Playa del Rey, California.
"An indispensable contribution the the medieval Iberian field, and a valuable addition to medieval studies generally... On almost any page, one finds a wealth of engrossing data concerning daily life, practice, and belief in thirteenth-century Castile. The level of detail is compelling, and provides a wide-ranging view of medieval life and thought that goes far beyond mere prescriptive edicts."--Olivia Remie Constable, The Medieval Review
