Note 89 — Chapter XI · HISTORY OF SEPARATION AND DIVORCE UNDER ENGLISH AND ECCLESIASTICAL LAW
Reading edition
See Geffcken's interesting discussion of tit. 34, c. 4, Lex Burgundionum, in Ehescheidung, 35-38. He shows, following Loening, Geschichte des deut. Kirchenrechts, II, 619, note, that the clause in question is of later origin than the rest of tit. 34, probably under Christian influence. Cf. Glasson, Le mariage civil et le divorce, 187, 188. For the text see Salis's edition of the Burgundian laws in Mon. Germ. hist.: Legum, sec. i, tom. ii, p. 68; and compare sec. xxiv, "De mulieribus Burgundiis ad secundas aut tertias nuptias transeuntibus," ibid., pp. 61-63; and sec. lxviii, "De adulteriis," ibid., p. 95.
