ABSTRACT

The vocabulary consists of two parts. Part I is an annotated glossary where legal and other important terms are explained; it is alphabetized after the English translation and the Old Danish version of the term is in italic. If the term consists of more than one word it is found under the substantive. In the introduction, many of the terms are also presented in a broader legal and social context. Words that have no legal implication and are only found once in the laws are explained in a note.
