Interesting point. (I mean, given how widely they spread - and their influence on local cultures - they had to be open minded ...

I am curious as to what some of those (codes) might be - excuse my ignorance ...
- DougN7 2y agoNot exactly law texts, but if you’re interested in original texts from that era, from roughly the same people, read the Icelandic Sagas. Really good reading.
- Bluestein 2y agoNoted :)
- hellojesus 2y agoThe Nordic Mythology Podcast is also pretty good from a blending of culture and the myths. There is also a book called the Culture of the Teutons in the public domain, which tends to be recommended as a cultural intro text in Heathen groups, that does a good job describing Germanic culture and worldview. Regardless of your intetest in religion, I found it quite interesting.
- Bluestein 2y agoAlso noted, on both counts, and tremendously appreciated.-

- Bluestein 2y agoSurely there was no ill intent.- I will look about, research some, and report. Interesting topic :)
