A formidable research tool. Originally published: Philadelphia: The American Philosophical Society, [1953] (Transactions of the American Philosophical Society; New Series, Volume 43, Part 2, 1953). [ii], 333-808 pp.\"This dictionary is intended to meet the needs of the student with little or no knowledge of Roman law or indeed of Latin. 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)\"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)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51892429488416,"sku":"NEW1616194669","price":66.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71u2KfMh58L.jpg?v=1781986277","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/encyclopedic-dictionary-of-roman-law-1616194669","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
