Schwabenspiegel
The Schwabenspiegel is a legal book for non-Saxon Germany created around 1275 by an unknown Augsburg Franciscan .
In the medieval form of a mirror, it deals primarily with land and feudal law (including imperial law ). The Schwabenspiegel is based on sources from the Bible , Roman and Canon Law as well as imperial laws and is based on Sachsenspiegel and Deutschenspiegel . The Schwabenspiegel also contains a longer chapter of the special law applicable to Jews , including the oath of Jews , the king's patronage over the Jews, the prohibition of the use of force against Jews and the so-called fence privilege . The prohibition of mixed marriages , the promotion of conversion and special clothing regulations stem from canon law .
The title Schwabenspiegel for the legal book was coined by the late Swiss humanist Melchior Goldast in the early 17th century.
