The Collection of Swiss Law Sources (Sammlung Schweizerischer Rechtsquellen in German; Collection des sources du droit suisse in French; Collana Fonti del diritto svizzero in Italian) is a collection of critical editions of historical legal documents (regarded as sources of law) created on Swiss territory from the early Middle Ages up to 1798.
Since then, over 100 volumes (80,000+ pages) of source material (e.g., statutes, decrees, or regulations, but also administrative documents and court transcripts) from the early Middle Ages until early modern times have been published in the form of source editions.
The primary sources are manuscripts written in various regional historical forms of German, French, Italian, Rhaeto-Romance languages, and Latin, which were transcribed (using diplomatic transcription, annotated, and commented by the editors.
The Collection is organized by modern cantons, with further subdivisions by historical areas of jurisdiction, such as towns or bailiwicks.
On 1 May 2020, the Legal Sources Foundation founded the association e-editiones[2] together with other editing companies in order to jointly develop the publication tool TEI Publisher, among other things.
