Weistum

Japanese: ワイストゥーム(英語表記)Weistum
Weistum
In medieval Germany, a judicial assembly was held in which a juror (judiciary) familiar with customary law answered questions, or a document that recorded such a judgment. In the narrow sense, it refers to the law relating to rural manors, and began to be recorded after the 13th century. Jacob Grimm (→Brothers Grimm) collected and compiled this huge collection of village laws into seven volumes. It is used as an important historical source for understanding the rights of peasants in German villages in the late Middle Ages.

中世ドイツの裁判集会で,慣習法に通じた参審員 (判決発見人) が,質問に答える形で行う法判告,もしくはその判告を記した文書のこと。狭義では,農村の荘園法にかかわるそれをさし,13世紀以後に記録されるようになった。ヤーコプ・グリム (→グリム兄弟 ) はこの膨大な村法を7巻に集録し,編纂した。中世後期のドイツ村落における農民の権利状態を知るうえでの重要な史料として用いられる。
