Abstract

This is a short and succinct summary of the unique position of Roman law in European culture by a leading legal historian. Peter Stein’s masterly study assesses the impact of Roman law in the ancient world and its continued unifying influence throughout medieval and modern Europe. Roman Law in European History is unparalleled in range, lucidity and authority, and should prove of enormous utility for teachers and students (at all levels) of legal history, comparative law and European Studies. Award-winning on its appearance in German translation, this English rendition of a magisterial work of interpretive synthesis is an invaluable contribution to the understanding of perhaps the most important European legal tradition of all.
