Edinburgh University Press is publishing a
new edition of its “Roman Law Essentials” at the end of this month.
DESCRIPTION
Roman Law
Essentials provides a clear overview of the structure of Roman government and
society. It first introduces the sources and development of Roman Law. Then, it
examines the three keystones of Roman Law: The Law of Persons, The Law of
Things and the Law of Actions. The final section appraises the reception of
Roman Law into medieval Canon Law and the Ius Commune, from which many of the
world's leading legal systems developed. The guide gives special attention to
the evolution of Scots Law from Roman Law.
