The series Global Perspectives on Legal History (MPI for European Legal History) published its third volume.
Presentation:
Derecho indiano, Spanish colonial law, has been a vigorous subdiscipline of legal history since the early 20th century. In 1997, in his Nuevos horizontes enel estudio histórico del derecho indiano, Argentinian legal historian Víctor Tau Anzoátegui considers some hitherto neglected perspectives. What has been achieved since then? What issues are being dealt with today? In this volume,scholars from different parts of the Western world address several of the current challenges confronting derecho indiano.Table of Contents:
