The Evolution of Written Law until the Phanariot Ruling. Aspects Regarding Law in the Phanariot Age

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the evolution of the written law until the Phanariot rulings, also poring over some general issues regarding the law in the Phanariot age. A very important role in the development of the feudal society was played by the appearance of the books of law which were written both in an ecclesiastic manner and in a laic manner. The written law was meant to provide increased authority to central power as opposed to unwritten law.
