My research is focused on the characteristics of the crime of theft and its punishment in Eike von Repgowʼs Sachsenspiegel, which was written between 1220 and 1235 in the Middle Low German language. The relationship between the text and images in the four codices picturati of this legal text will be examined in the context of some passages directly related to theft and its punishment to demonstrate that the illustrations in these manuscripts can contribute to a better understanding of legal institutions in the German Middle Ages.

Abstract
My research is focused on the characteristics of the crime of theft and its punishment in Eike von Repgowʼs Sachsenspiegel, which was written between 1220 and 1235 in the Middle Low German language. The relationship between the text and images in the four codices picturati of this legal text will be examined in the context of some passages directly related to theft and its punishment to demonstrate that the illustrations in these manuscripts can contribute to a better understanding of legal institutions in the German Middle Ages.
