  • Notes: "Compendium of medieval law compiled in Middle Low German by Eike von Repgau between 1220 and 1235. The laws set down are those valid in the region of Lüneburg and the Harz (Ostfalen), but the Sachsenspiegel exercised a considerable influence on legal writing and the drafting of laws throughout Germany" (OCGL).
