About This Book

This volume gathers three previously published essays and an unfinished manuscript study on feudalism. The letters probe early national origins, constitutional arrangements, and social relations, and one piece replies at length to contemporary criticism by defending earlier assertions. The unfinished study comprises multiple chapters that analyze the legal and customary foundations of feudal relations, including a focused examination of the Visigothic code, customary law, and the organization of landholding. Short biographical notices of earlier historians and editorial commentary on the manuscript’s condition and composition accompany the texts, highlighting places where the author expanded or revised his plan before work ceased.
