Frauen_ (Vienna, 1882); which may be read in connection with his
_Altnordisches Leben_ (Berlin, 1856). To supplement Weinhold's
works for the more general culture-history of woman in the
German family may be consulted Dahn, "Das Weib in altgerm. Recht
und Leben," in his _Bausteine_, VI (Berlin, 1884); Rullkoetter,
_Legal Position of Women among the Ancient Germans_ (Chicago,
1900); Strack, _Aus dem deutschen Frauenleben_ (Leipzig,
1873-74); Scherr, _Geschichte der deutschen Frauenwelt_ (3d ed.,
Leipzig, 1873); Bernhöft's lively _Frauenleben in der Vorzeit_
(Wismar, 1893); Backer, _Le droit de la femme dans l'antiquité:
son devoir au moyen âge_ (Paris, 1880); the quaint treatise of
Grupen, _De uxore theotisca_ (Göttingen, 1748); the paper of
Schmitt, _Die Schlüsselgewalt der Ehefrau nach deutschem Recht_
(Munich, 1893); and that of Reinsch, _Stellung und Leben der
deutschen Frau im Mittelalter_ (Berlin, 1882).
Further illustrations of domestic and social life are afforded
by the literature of "left-hand" marriages. Thus Klein's
short dissertation, entitled _Beiträge zur Lehre von der
morganatischen Ehe_ (Erlangen, 1897), traces the practice back
to ancient Frankish law. See also Culmann, _Morganatische Ehe
und Ursprung des Feudalismus_ (Strassburg, 1880); Zetzkius, _De
matrimonio ad morganaticam contracto, vulgo: von Vermählung
zur linken Hand_ (Regiomonti, 1692); the anonymous _Geschichte
morganatischer und legitimirter Fürsten- und Grafen-Ehen in
Deutschland_ (Halle, 1874), which gives a chronological account,
century by century, of particular "left-hand" marriages; and the
dissertations of Linckens, Riccius, and Höltzl von Sternstein.
