Scanian Law is the oldest Danish provincial law and one of the first Nordic provincial laws to be set down in writing. It applied across the region historically called Danish Skaneland, covering Scania, Halland, Blekinge and the island of Bornholm, and for a period it was also used on Zealand. According to some scholars it was first written down between 1202 and 1216, around the same time the Danish archbishop Anders Sunesen translated it into Latin.
