ABSTRACT
The text of Anders Sunesen's Liber legis Scaniae is preserved in four medieval manuscripts, known as A, B, C and D and was edited in a printed version by Arild Huitfeld in 1590. The present edition is based on the Ledreborg 13 kvart manuscript from the first part of the fifteenth century, originally belonging to the library of the Ledreborg mansion, and therefore known as the Ledreborg Manuscript, which is considered to render the text most correctly. The oldest version of the text is in a manuscript from the second half of the thirteenth century containing the Church Law of Scania, to which a later hand has added Leges antique Scaniae. The number of manuscripts of the Liber legis Scaniae is remarkably smaller than the number of extant manuscripts of the Old Danish text.
