Law of Wihtred : ウィキペディア英語版 | Law of Wihtred
The Law of Wihtred is an early English legal text attributed to the Kentish king Wihtred (died 725). It is believed to date to the final decade of the 7th century and is the last of three Kentish legal texts, following the Law of Æthelberht and the Law of Hlothhere and Eadric. It is devoted primarily to offences within and against the church, as well as church rights and theft. ==Provenance== The prologue of the text and the red manuscript rubric attribute the law to Wihtred (died 725), king of Kent.〔Oliver, ''Beginnings of English Law'', p. 164〕 Wihtred reigned from around or just after 690 to 725, and the text suggests he issued the law's provisions in 695.〔Oliver, ''Beginnings of English Law'', p. 165〕 Like the other Kentish codes, the Law of Wihtred survives in only one manuscript, known as the "Rochester Codex" or ''Textus Roffensis''.〔Oliver, ''Beginnings of English Law'', p. 20〕 This is a compilation of Anglo-Saxon historic and legal material drawn together in the early 1120s under the supervision of Ernulf, bishop of Rochester.〔Wormald, ''First Code'', pp. 1–2〕 Wihtred's law occupies folios 5v to 6v.〔Oliver, ''Beginnings of English Law'', p. 21; Wormald, ''Making of English Law'', p. 246〕
