Law book (English: Rechtsbücher)

Japanese: 法書 - ほうしょ(英語表記)Rechtsbücher
Law book (English: Rechtsbücher)
A privately compiled law book written by a person well versed in law, compiling and describing the customary law of a particular region. Originally, they did not have the force of law, but over the years, many of them have acquired the same authority as a legal code. Many are written in the local language rather than in Latin. Examples of this include the Saxon Spiegel, the Schwabian Spiegel, the Deutschen Spiegel, and the customary law of Beauvage in France.

法に精通した者が特定地方の慣習法を編纂,記述した私撰の法律書。本来は,法律の効力をもたなかったが,年月の経過とともに法典と同じような権威をかちえたものも少くない。多くはラテン語を用いず,その地方の民衆語で書かれている。『ザクセン・シュピーゲル』『シュワーベン・シュピーゲル』『ドイッチェン・シュピーゲル』フランスのボーベージの慣習法などがこれに属する。
