The Law of ObligationsRoman Foundations of the Civilian Tradition

Abstract

Abstract This book is a book about Roman Law and Comparative Law. As a work of Roman law scholarship it fuses the vast volume of 20th-century scholarship on the Roman law of obligations into a clear and original account of the law. As a work of comparative law it traces the transformation of the Roman law of obligations over the centuries into what is now modern German, English, and South African law, presenting a contrast between these legal systems which is unique both in its scope and its depth. As a whole the book is written with an understanding of human nature and of many social, economic, and other forces that determine the face of the law.
