Textbook on Roman Law

By J.A. Borkowski

Textbook on Roman Law provides students with a lucid and readable exposition of Roman private law and civil procedure. Beginning with a historical sketch of Rome and the key landmarks in Roman history, Borkowski & Du Plessis then outline the basic structure of the Roman legal system with particular reference to civil courts and civil procedure. This is followed by a survey of the Roman law of persons, property and inheritance, and obligations. The book includes extracts from the most important sources of Roman law, the Digest and the Institutes of Justinian. References to non-legal sources have also been included. This third edition features a substantially expanded final section on the 'second life' of Roman law. Further reading sections have also been introduced at the end of each chapter to guide the reader to other useful sources. Book jacket.
