Der Glaubenseid: Eine Rechtsgeschichtliche Untersuchung (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781248089583)

"Der Glaubenseid: Eine Rechtsgeschichtliche Untersuchung" by Ernst Zimmermann explores the historical significance of the oath, particularly in its intersection with law and religion. This scholarly work delves into the evolution of oath-taking across various historical periods, potentially including the Byzantine Empire and the Middle Ages. Zimmermann's analysis sheds light on the legal and social functions of oaths, revealing their importance in maintaining social order and legitimizing authority. The book likely examines the religious underpinnings of oaths, tracing how faith and belief influenced their use in legal proceedings and political ceremonies. This study offers valuable insights into the historical development of legal practices and the role of religious convictions in shaping legal systems.
