Index to the Libri Feudorum and the Appendices

This index is based on the English text of the Libri Feudorum and Appendices 1–3. If relevant, the Latin text is reported in square brackets; it is omitted in the entries concerning broad subjects, such as ‘kinship’ or ‘disputes’. Most references are to couples of pages, redirecting to occurrences in the Latin (even pages) and English (odd pages) texts. Some references report non-consecutive pages, e.g. 222–225: in these cases, the pagination has split the text and the Latin word is on the even page, the corresponding English translation on the odd one.
