from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liber annalium iurium , around 1220

The Liber annalium iurium (actually Liber annalium iurium archiepiscopi et ecclesie Treverensis ) is an inventory of the goods and rights of the Archdiocese of Trier, completed around 1220 . It contains a list of real estate, the annual taxes and income from other legal titles. The compilation was probably initiated under Archbishop Johann I († 1212) and completed under his successor Theodoric II of Wied .

The work is one of the most important high mediaeval sources for the imperial, territorial and local history of the Trier region . In his seven ration step are first country castles mentioned Arras Castle , fortress Ehrenbreitstein , Castle Grimburg , Manderscheid Castle (Upper Castle) Burg Neuerburg in Wittlich , Saarburg and the castle Welschbillig .

Partly continued in the 13th and early 14th centuries, the Liber annalium iurium is also one of the forerunners of the administrative reforms of the Archbishop of Trier, Baldwin of Luxembourg, and his extensive collection of documents ( Balduins ).
