Edictus Rothari (643 - 643) Rothari, Rothair |
| Quotation |
Non leciat donatori ipsum thinx, quod antea fecit, iterum in alium hominem transmigrare: tantum est, ut ille qui garethinx susceprit, tales culpas non faciat donatori suo, quales solent ingrati filii parentibus suis facere, per quas exhereditantur, quae in hoc edictum scriptae sunt… |
| Translation |
If anyone wants to give his property to another, he should not make the gairethinx [gift] secretly but in the presence of freemen. He who thingat [makes the gift] and he who receives the gisel [gift] should be free in order that no controversy may arise in the future.
(Emended from K. Fischer-Drew, trans., The Lombard Laws (1973), p. 82) |
