Sippe (English spelling)

Japanese: ジッペ（英語表記）Sippe

A clan community in ancient Germanic society. Originally a male-line clan organization descended from a single ancestor, it also had a religious character. The zippe was the fundamental living unit of the ancient Germanic people, and under the protection of the zippe people were guaranteed safety in their lives and could expect relief from all zippe members in the event of external harm. Economic life was also based on the zippe, and the private law rights of its members were encompassed by the common ownership of the zippe. When the Germanic peoples settled during their migratory period, the zippe functioned as an agricultural production community. Naturally, the military unit in wartime was also the zippe. The reason that Germanic law is fundamentally a collective law is due to the zippe.

古代ゲルマン社会の氏族共同体。元来は1人の始祖に始る男系の氏族団体で，宗教的性格をも帯びていた。ジッペは古代ゲルマン民族の根元的な生活単位であり，人々はジッペの保護下で生活の安全を保障され，外部からの加害に対してジッペ成員全員による救済を期待しえた。経済生活もまたジッペを単位としており，成員の私法的権利はジッペの総有権によって包括されていた。移動期のゲルマン人が定住する際に，ジッペは農業生産共同体として機能した。戦時における軍の単位もまた当然ジッペであった。ゲルマン法が根本において団体法であるのは，このジッペに起因する。
