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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"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) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"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)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50357158281490,"sku":"9781584771425","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_031bf308-a067-42db-8c1b-47536390a858.jpg?v=1728319446","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/encyclopedic-dictionary-of-roman-law-9781584771425","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
