This book collects three important compilations of German statutes. Enacted in 1518, the Bavarian Reformacion revised the Bavarian civil and criminal law code of 1346. It is notable, in part, because it incorporated input solicited by the Dukes of Bavaria from representative groups of subjects, and for its use of German rather.
