HISTORY AND INSTITUTES OF ROMAN LAW
The most important Hungarian textbook
of Roman law for hundred years
This
textbook succeeds the manual of Roman law written by Róbert Brósz and Elemér
Pólay, first published in 1974. The new work of András Földi and Gábor Hamza offers a more extensive treatment not
only than that of the textbook which it succeeds, but also than the two-volume,
1941 manual of Kálmán Személyi. In its detailed treatment of the subsequent
history of Roman law it can only be compared to the classical work of Tamás
Vécsey, the last edition of which appeared in 1907.
The
treatise, as suggested by its title, presents the history and the institutes
(i.e. the classical material) of Roman law. The historical part, however, does
not deal exclusively with governmental organization and the legal sources of
ancient Rome, but also traces in detail the continuous presence of Roman law in
different contemporary legal systems.
The structure of
the textbook is as follows:
·
History and subsequent fate of Roman law
·
Procedural law, including an outline of criminal
procedure
·
Law of persons and family law
·
Law of things (Law of property)
·
Law of obligations, with an appendix on criminal law
·
Law of succession
The
textbook includes an extensive bibliography, as well as three detailed indexes
comprising more than 3000 entries.
