natalizi, nuziali e funebri del popolo Siciliano_ (Palermo, 1879); Frati, _Costumanze e pompe nuziali bolognesi nel medio evo_: for the _Nozze Cian-Sappa-Flandinet_ (Bergamo, 1894); Reinsberg-Düringsfeld, "Lieben und Freien in Piemont," in _Illustrirte Frauenzeitung_, June 7, 1875 (Berlin, 1875); Sakellarios, _Die Sitten und Gebräuche der Hochzeit bei den Neugriechen verglichen mit denen der alten Griechen_ (Halle, 1880); Gubernatis, _Storia comparata degli usi nuziali in Italia e presso gli altri popoli Indo-Europei_ (2d ed., Milan, 1878); and Gennari, _Degli usi de Padovani de' tempi di mezzo ne' loro matrimonj_ (Venice, 1800). On the controversy as to the meaning of _mund_ and its place in the purchase contract, in connection with the views of Sohm, Dahn, Brunner, Lehmann, Schroeder, and others, see Waitz, "Ueber die Bedeutung des Mundium im deutschen Recht," in _Sitzungsberichte der preuss. Akad._, 1886; and Kohler, "Die Ehe mit und ohne Mundium," in _ZVR._, VI. This question, as well as other matters, is also treated by Dargun, _Mutterrecht und Raubehe_ (Breslau, 1883); Kraut, _Vormundschaft_ (Göttingen, 1835-59); and by Rive in his excellent _Vormundschaft im Rechte der Germanen_ (Braunschweig, 1862). Scheurl's _Das gemeine deutsche Eherecht_ (Erlangen, 1882), though relating mainly to a later period, is of use for this chapter; as are also Königswarter, _Histoire de l'organisation de la famille en France_ (Paris, 1851); and Laboulaye's very rare book, _Condition civile et politique des femmes_ (1843); Hofmann's interesting monograph, _Ueber den Verlobungs- und Trauring_ (Vienna, 1870); Junius, _De annulo romanorum sponsalitio_ (Leipzig); and Müller, _De annulo pronubo, vulgo vom Jaworts- oder Trauring, de modo computationis graduum, de osculo sancto_ (Jena, 1734).
