This volume examines the »poly-juralism« of Europe's past through case studies from a number of perspectives and traditions. The authors remind us that law precedes and surrounds the state and they contest the anachronistic projection of modern legal nationalism, positivism, and centralism into the past. And these studies challenge both ideas of deep correspondence between laws, culture, and society and the division of Western traditions into reasonably discrete, closed legal families.
Across the West, a legal system centred on the state, the creation of general national laws, the elimination of competing jurisdictions, and the marginalization of non-legal norms was a very long historical process. This volume examines the »poly-juralism« of Europe's past its legal hybridity and jurisdictional complexity through case studies from a number of perspectives and traditions: Anglo-American, continental, Nordic, and mixed. The authors remind us that law precedes and surrounds the state, which is but one source of norms. They contest the anachronistic projection of modern legal nationalism, positivism, and centralism into the past. And these studies challenge both ideas of deep correspondence between laws, culture, and society and the division of Western traditions into reasonably discrete, closed legal families. Indeed, the lessons of this plural past can shed considerable light on the present, both in the West and across the globe.

Zusammenfassung
»Dem Band ist starke Beachtung zu wünschen. Gerade die Ergebnisse der einzelnen Tiefbohrungen zeigen, wie reichhaltig die Quellen sprudeln.« Prof. Dr. Peter Oestmann, in: Rechtsgeschiche, Band 25/2017
»Welcher wissenschaftliche Mehrwert ergibt sich, wenn Normativität als Mixtur analysiert wird, wenn es also nicht um die Entwicklung bestimmter Rechtsdisziplinen, -schichten, -figuren oder -kodifikationen geht, sondern um die zuweilen konflikthafte und zuweilen harmonische Interaktion derartiger Entitäten? Der Sammelband zeigt, dass der Mehrwert immens sein kann.« Peter Collin, in: Zeitschrift für Neuere Rechtsgeschichte, Jg. 38, Nr. 3-4/2016
