Recho Keiritsu - Recho Keiritsu

Japanese: レ朝刑律 - レちょうけいりつ

A legal code from the Le Dynasty period (1428-1789) in Vietnam. It is made up of 6 volumes, 12 chapters, and 721 or 722 articles, making it the oldest surviving legal code in Vietnam. The Le Dynasty had the Hung Tek Triad (Criminal Code) enacted during the reign of the 4th reigning emperor Thanh Tong (Saint Zong), and in 1767 published the Quoc Dynasty Triad, which was a near-identical copy of the original. The extant Quoc Dynasty Triad (woodblock) is thought to be almost identical in content to the Quoc Dynasty Triad. The Le Dynasty Triad (manuscript) was a hand-copied version of the code in later generations, and it is thought that the Criminal Code Journal of the Charters of the Lian Dynasties also includes this code.

ベトナムのレ(黎)朝時代(1428‐1789)の法典。6巻12章721条または722条から成り，現存するベトナム最古の法典。レ朝では4代タイントン(聖宗)期に制定された洪徳条律(刑律)があり，1767年にこれをほぼ踏襲した《国朝条律》が刊行された。現存する《国朝刑律》(木版)はほぼこの《国朝条律》と内容を同じくするものと考えられる。また《黎朝刑律》(写本)は後代にこれを手写したものであり，《歴朝憲章類誌刑律誌》もこれを収録したものと考えられる。
