Jennifer Davis’s current book project investigates why the Franks invented the capitularies, a new genre of law in the post-Roman period, and how the use of these laws became a barometer for social and political change in the Frankish kingdoms. Based on the approximately 250 surviving manuscripts of capitularies, it will present an innovative vision of the use of law.
