The VU Amsterdam is organising a Summer
Course on Laws in Antiquity in July 2018, coordinated by Professors Jan
Hallebeek and Ilan Peled. The course level is “Advanced Bachelor/Master, open
to PhD staff and professionals.”
Course
Content:
It was in Roman times that the foundations
were laid for the so-called civilian tradition, which still reverberates in the
private law of continental Europe, South America and parts of the Far East
(Japan, China). On this course, leading experts on ancient law guide you
through the theoretical and historical aspects of these systems and their
unique characteristics, focusing on such themes as contracts, delict, property
and family law.
We begin with general presentations of the
different systems, before moving on to the study and analysis of exemplary
texts (in English translation) in a workshop setting. By the end of the course
you will have gained a sense of legal life in the ancient civilizations of
Mesopotamia, Egypt, Rome and Byzantium.
