The civil law systems of continental Europe, Latin America and other parts of the world, including Japan, share a common legal heritage derived from Roman law. However, it is an inheritance which has been modified and adapted over the centuries as a result of contact with Germanic legal concepts, the work of jurists in the mediaeval universities, the growth of the canon law of the western Church, the humanist scholarship of the Renaissance and the rationalism of the natural lawyers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This volume provides a critical appreciation of modern civilian systems by examining current rules and structures in the context of their 2,500 year development. It is not a narrative history of civil law, but an historical examination of the forces and influences which have shaped the form and the content of modern codes, as well as the legislative and judicial processes by which they are created are administered.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This book is widely regarded as one of the most remarkable achievements in Roman Law and Comparative Law scholarship this century - a fact attested to by the universal acclaim with which it has been received throughout Europe, America, and beyond. As a work of Roman Law scholarship it fusesthe vast volume of 20th century scholarship on the Roman law of obligations into a clear and very readable (and in many ways 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 the reader with a contrast between these legal systems which is unique both in its scope and its depth. As a whole the book is written with a deep understanding of human nature and of many social, economic, and other forces that determine the face of thelaw.

Excerpt from A Manual of the Principles of Roman Law Relating to Persons, Property, and Obligations: With a Historical Introduction There are already in existence so many works upon Roman Law of the highest erudition and authority that it seems necessary to offer some explanation of the appearance of the present volume. The purpose of this work is somewhat special. Far from seeking either to place itself alongside of, or to enter into rivalry with, the already recognised authorities upon the subject, it seeks rather to present the results of their critical erudition in a form and in terms free from technicalities, and to expound the main principles of the matured Roman Law relating specially to Persons, Property, and Obligations, but excluding the Law of Succession and Actions, in so far as these are the foundation of modern legal science, in a manner that does not involve as a pre-requisite a knowledge of the Latin language. In this respect the present work seeks to be an introduction to the study of law that will be available to the interested layman no less than to the would-be lawyer. By means of a succinct Historical Introduction, and throughout the text, it has been sought to indicate the course of the development of the Roman legal institutions and principles, a knowledge of which is essential to the true appreciation of any legal system. This work has been prompted as the result of the experience obtained by the author during a number of years in lecturing to Egyptian students. The Egyptian Native Codes being based, in very large measure, upon the French Codes, a knowledge of the principles of Roman Law is essential to the student of law in Egypt, who, however, suffers from the disadvantage that he has no knowledge of the Latin language. While it is, therefore, impossible to expound the subject to him either directly or by way of commentary upon the Latin texts, it is, at the same time, necessary to present to the student, in language that will be readily understood, a statement of the main principles of the Roman Law in such a manner as will both compensate for his lack of a classical education and do fair justice to the subject. With this object in view, the subject is here expounded by a method of divisions and sub-divisions, each of which is, as far as possible, self-contained; on which account, indeed, there may appear to be, at times, somewhat of redundancy.
