denotes the collec-
tions of laws drawn
up by the barbarian
kmgs for their Teu-
tonlo aubjecls. It is
difficult to assign a
precise date to each
of these collections;
several of them were
reissued at a later
period.and the earli-
est form has not
always been pre-
served. The most
ancient of these
compilations is the
"Lex Salica", the
earliest redaction of
which does not in-
dicate clearly a
Christian or a pagan
origin; it is believed
to date from the
reign of Clovis, be-
tween the years 486
and 496. The most
important new re-
daction is the " Lex
Salica emendata ' '
(a Carolo mogno
emendata), a prod-
uct of the Carlo-
vingian age, though
' apparently it cannot
be attributed to
Charlemagne. In
