Irreducible ambiguity? The line between custom and statute in the law-making of thirteenth-century Poland.
A resurging subject today is medieval customary law and its boundary with statute. Regarding Poland, the inquiry is complicated by a historiographical consensus that here the law essentially was customary, supplemented by statute only in the later fourteenth century.
