拜占庭《农业法》译注

A Chinese Translation of the Byzantine Famer’s Law with Commentary

《农业法》是拜占庭历史上一部重要的法典。它规范了拜占庭农庄中居民的生产生活行为,内容涉及村庄组织、土地占有与使用、农民权益、对违法行为的惩罚措施等方面,反映出拜占庭帝国中期农村经济生活的一般状况,是研究拜占庭农村经济制度的极为宝贵的原始资料。自该法典被发现以来,国外学术界对其研究已有多年,其中阿什布尔纳的希腊文校勘本与英文译本是现今学者们认可的权威文本。本文根据阿什尔布纳的校勘本为底本、并参考其译本对《农业法》进行译注,意在提供更切近希腊原文的中文文本。
