{"product_id":"vernacular-law-ada-maria-kuskowski-9781009217897","title":"Vernacular Law","description":"Custom was fundamental to medieval legal practice. Whether in a property dispute or a trial for murder, the aggrieved and accused would go to lay court where cases were resolved according to custom. What custom meant, however, went through a radical shift in the medieval period. Between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, custom went from being a largely oral and performed practice to one that was also conceptualized in writing. Based on French lawbooks known as coutumiers, Ada Maria Kuskowski traces the repercussions this transformation - in the form of custom from unwritten to written and in the language of law from elite Latin to common vernacular - had on the cultural world of law. Vernacular Law offers a new understanding of the formation of a new field of knowledge: authors combined ideas, experience and critical thought to write lawbooks that made disparate customs into the field known as customary law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ada Maria Kuskowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009217895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009217897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.13d","brand":"Ada Maria Kuskowski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070889128191,"sku":"9781009217897","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1dd3e05-14fe-4f0c-95df-8b51bf09afe1.jpg?v=1685432922","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vernacular-law-ada-maria-kuskowski-9781009217897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
