It seeks to provide a brief picture of Roman legal institutions and sources as a sort of first introduction to them. A very large number of brief-usually very brief-entries provide explanations of Roman legal terms, civil and criminal, and summary accounts of the sources. This is a formidable task to undertake single-handed, and Dr. Berger is to be congratulated on the great learning and thoroughness with which he has carried it through. ... The work ends with a remarkable general bibliography listing some fifteen hundred works under headings ranging from the main divisions of the law to 'Christianity and Roman Law' and 'Roman law in non-juristic sources.' This last is particularly valuable.\"--BARRY NICHOLAS 44 Journal of Roman Studies 160 (1954) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The publication of Mr. Adolf Berger's encyclopedic dictionary of Roman law is a very important accomplishment in the recent history of American legal scholarship. The American legal world owes him homage for putting at its disposal the scholarship of twentieth-century European Romanism, or indicating the entrances thereto.\" --MITCHELL FRANKLIN 28 Tulane Law Review 412 (1953-1954)","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46488026382487,"sku":"9781584771425","price":5822.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781584771425.jpg?v=1766336554","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/encyclopedic-dictionary-of-roman-law-9781584771425","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
