 Preface: The Visigothic Code: (Forum judicum)
The cruel and unrelenting pursuit of the Jews, commanded by the Visigothic Code, was the foundation of the Spanish Inquisition and its diabolical procedure.
In considering the general details of the Visigothic Code, one of the striking and suggestive features which presents itself is the inculcation of exalted precepts of honor, probity, and justice, and, at the same time, the acceptance and adoption of a belief in the basest and most grovelling forms of superstition.
The Visigoths were the first of the nomadic barbarians of the North to acknowledge the privileges and responsibilities attaching to the occupation of a permanent and limited domain.

 Medieval Spains: Merida
While the earliest Visigothic law had adhered to the principle of the personality of the law (that is, different legal regimes applied to different ethnic groups), by the time of the promulgation of Recceswinth's Code, the law was territorial; it applied to every inhabitant of the Visigothic kingdom.
One cannot say with certainty whether the opinions and concerns expressed by Visigothic lawmakers were widely held by the peninsula's inhabitants or whether these were merely the concerns of a small elite.
In other words, while other early medieval law codes include rules about property damage or personal injuries, no other code includes the sort of theoretical reflections on the nature of the law that are found in Book I of the Visigothic Code.
