Emil Seckel was a German jurist and legal historian who specialized in Roman law and medieval legal sources at the turn of the twentieth century. He held a professorship at the University of Berlin, served as rector of what is now Humboldt University, and was elected to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in 1911. His major scholarly undertaking was an extensive study of the ninth-century capitularies attributed to Benedictus Levita, for which he prepared over a thousand pages of source material intended for the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, the great edition of medieval German historical sources. Seckel died before completing the new edition, but his research remained the standard foundation for later work on the text.
