This edition of the corpus of texts traditionally associated with Stephen the Saint, who ruled the Hungarians from 997 to 1038 and rightfully occupies the same place in their history as his older contemporary, Saint Prince Vladimir, among the Eastern Slavs. The reader of "The Laws and Instructions of Stephen the Saint" will discover the organization of power and social life, the conflictual and contradictory nature of the Christianization carried out by the first king of the Hungarians, and the Christian faith as the political foundation of the emerging kingdom. Complete with commentary and translation, this book will make Latin sources on Hungarian history accessible to everyone and will be useful not only to students and young scholars—historians, legal scholars, philologists, and cultural scholars—but also to anyone interested in medieval history.
