Description

Explore the deep-seated impact of Roman civil law through this collection of historical essays from Bloomsbury. Drawing on Goethe's famous comparison, these essays examine how Roman law functions like a duck - sometimes visible on the surface and other times hidden beneath the depths, yet always present. This work traces the influence of Roman legal principles across continental Europe and Scotland, where it has served as a dominant force. It also examines the role of Roman law in England and the U.S.A., where it has informed and supplemented Common law. For those studying legal theory, these essays provide essential context, noting how nearly all great writers on Common law have considered Roman law in their work, with the possible exception of Coke.
