BUMP! for one of the seminal documents of the ages, rivaling for its own time and in its own way our own Constitution. Considering the time in which they were conceived, the concepts contained therein are analogous to discovering a Rolex Oyster watch in a sealed Egyptian tomb. Not a shabby feat for a treatise originally designed only to quiet rebellious nobles.

(And, thanks for the great translation. The eye tires quickly trying to read all those "thous.")

54. No one shall be arrested or imprisoned upon the appeal of a woman, for the death of any other than her husband.

Nobody's perfect ...
