Law has been a primary locus and vehicle of contact across human history - as a system of ideas embodied in people and enacted on bodies; and also as a material, textual, and sensory 'thing'. This volume analyzes a variety of legal encounters ranging from South Asia to South and Central America, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. The seven essays also explore various material expressions of law that reveal the complexity and intensity of cross-cultural contact in this pivotal era.
