Crisp, sharp and with humour, these lectures are colourful, thoroughly engrossing and intellectually rigorous... the beauty of Birks's lectures is that there is as much for a modern lawyer, who is willing to look, as there is for a student of Roman law. Stephen Bogle, Law Quarterly Review An absolute pleasure to read. Crisp, sharp and with humour, these lectures are colourful, thoroughly engrossing and intellectually rigorous... the beauty of Birks's lectures is that there is as much for a modern lawyer, who is willing to look, as there is for a student of Roman law. * Stephen Bogle, Law Quarterly Review * There is no need to present a complete survey of its contents, considering that it follows the traditional institutional pattern with which readers of this journal will be familiar. But here the parallel with current textbooks ends.This is no ordinary textbook, it is a real, life introduction to Roman law. The lectures are compulsive reading. The book teaches to understand not just Roman law but law as such, to understand how it works. * Boudewijn Sirks, All Souls College Oxford, The Legal History Review * Author InformationThe late Peter Birks was Regius Professor of Civil Law in the University of Oxford, and Fellow of All Souls College.
