Textbook on Roman Law.

Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 2nd edition. XVI., 420 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - slightly rubbed and scuffed otherwise perfect condition - Roman law constitutes one of the most important and enduring legacies from the ancient world to the modern. It has helped to shape many of the legal systems of today and continues to provide an invaluable introduction to the study of legal concepts. Above all, Roman law is richly rewarding to study for its own sake, as a remarkable feat of organised good sense and structured orderliness. -- This book provides students with a lucid and readable exposition of Roman civil law and procedure. To make the subject more accessible, the author sets the law in the context of the history of Rome and keeps the use of Latin phrases to a minimum. -- A major feature of the book is the use of texts (in translation) from the most important source of Roman law, the Digest of Justinian. The texts serve to illustrate the law and to make it more vivid for the reader. -- This second edition incorporates a number of suggestions made by reviewers and academics. In particular, there is far greater emphasis on the influence of Roman law on the modem world and more extensive reference to the fruits of Roman law scholarship. -- Contents Include: Rome-A Historical Sketch; The Roman Legal System; The Law of Persons; The Law of Property and Inheritance; The Law of Obligations; Roman Law and the Modern World.
