The book broadens the linguistic and geographical scope of the debate by comparing texts written in \"learned\" and \"vulgar\" Latin, Church Slavonic, Anglo-Norman, and East Slavonic, the vernacular of Kievan Rus. From this comparison, the Kingdom of the Rus' - a terra incognita for most medievalists, generally assumed to be profoundly different from the West -emerges as a regional variation of European society. In particular, the finding that contractual relations, traditionally described in scholarly literature as \"feudo-vassalic,\" were present in the Kingdom of the Rus suggests that current explanations for the origins of such relations may overemphasize factors unique to the medieval West and overlook deeper pan-European processes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yulia Mikhailova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942401485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942401483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ARC Humanities Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Yulia Mikhailova","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075179704575,"sku":"9781942401483","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_840c0b6b-6d25-4c32-8fbc-325f713cb0f9.jpg?v=1685458062","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/property-power-and-authority-in-yulia-mikhailova-9781942401483","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
