Note AA — Second Book
Ernest Brehaut translation
P. 44, l. 8. The Lex Gundobada, still in existence (Mon. Germ. Hist., Legum, Sect. I, Legum Nationum Germ. tomi II, pars 1), is a codification of Burgundian custom. Gundobad also issued a code for his Roman subjects. The object of his legislation was largely to secure a better understanding between Romans and Burgundians. Cf. Lavisse, Histoire de France, II, p. 88 f. For bibliographical references see R. Schroeder, Lehrbuch der deutschen Rechtsgeschichte (1902), p. 241.
