Cáin Adomnáin: раннесредневековый источник древнеирландского канонического и светского права
For the first time in Russian, a complete translation of Cáin Adomnáin (the
Law of Adomnán), a remarkable specimen of ancient Irish canon and secular
law from the seventh century, is published. It was adopted with the aim
of protecting women, children, and clergy from military violence — that is,
those categories of the population that, in accordance with the norms of
modern international humanitarian law, fall under the definition of “non‑
combatants”. The text is provided with an introductory article and comments.
The study of this legal source will contribute to the further expansion and
deepening of ideas about the chronological framework and features of the
genesis of early Irish canonical and secular law, as well as the formation of
international law in the Middle Ages.
