Oxford University Press The Law of Obligations Roman Foundations of the
Book SynopsisThis book is widely regarded as one of the most remarkable achievements in Roman Law and Comparative Law scholarship this century - a fact attested to by the universal acclaim with which it has been received throughout Europe, America, and beyond. As a work of Roman Law scholarship it fuses the vast volume of 20th century scholarship on the Roman law of obligations into a clear and very readable (and in many ways original) account of the law. As a work of comparative law it traces the transformation of the Roman law of obligations over the centuries into what is now modern German, English and South African law, presenting the reader with a contrast between these legal systems which is unique both in its scope and its depth. As a whole the book is written with a deep understanding of human nature and of many social, economic, and other forces that determine the face of the law.Trade Review'This book', as James Gorley writes in the Americal Journal of Comparative Law 'is an account of the Roman roots of the modern law of contract, tort and unjust enrichment ... A principle goal is to show that the Roman legal tradition is a key to understanding modern law. For that reason, althought the book contains a magisterial treatment of the development of ancient Roman law, it does not, like the typical work on the subject, leave off with Justinian. It describes how Roman law was modified, beginning with the legal renaissance of the twelfth century, to form a ius commune, a law common to continental Europe. It shows how the Roman tradition shaped the national legal systems that emerged when the ius commune fragmented ... [and] describes how Roman law has influenced the English common law.' * American Journal of Comparative Law *'Reinhard Zimmermann's study of the Roman law of obligations has been justly praised, and it is now well known, not only for its intrinsic excellence, but also for the manner in which it has opened up a dialogue between lawyers of the Civilian and Common law traditions...The book is indeed the most extraordinary tour de force of erudition lucidly expounded. The publication of the paperback edition at a reasonable price is thus to be welcomed...stimulating and thought-provoking...Oxford University Press is to be congratulated in publishing a translation of one and a relatively inexpensive edition of the other. Both are important books.'

Oxford University Press Inc Roman Inequality
Book SynopsisRoman Inequality explores how in Rome in the first and second centuries CE a number of male and female slaves, and some free women, prospered in business amidst a population of generally impoverished free inhabitants and of impecunious enslaved residents. Edward E. Cohen focuses on two anomalies to which only minimal academic attention has been previously directed: (1) the paradox of a Roman economy dependent on enslaved entrepreneurs who functioned, and often achieved considerable personal affluence, within a legal system that supposedly deprived unfree persons of all legal capacity and human rights; (2) the incongruity of the importance and accomplishments of Roman businesswomen, both free and slave, successfully operating under legal rules that in many aspects discriminated against women, but in commercial matters were in principle gender-blind and in practice generated egalitarian juridical conditions that often trumped gender-discriminatory customs. This book also examines the casuistry through which Roman jurists created legal fictions facilitating a commercial reality utterly incompatible with the fundamental precepts--inherently discriminatory against women and slaves---that Roman legal experts (jurisprudents) continued explicitly to insist upon. Moreover, slaves'' acquisition of wealth was actually aided by a surprising preferential orientation of the legal system: Roman law--to modern Western eyes counter-intuitively--in reality privileged servile enterprise, to the detriment of free enterprise.Beyond its anticipated audience of economic historians and students and scholars of classical antiquity, especially of Roman history and law, Roman Inequality will appeal to all persons working on or interested in gender and liberation issues.Trade ReviewThis book is phenomenal, and delightfully well-documented * as I would expect. I'm deeply sympathetic with what the book seeks to do. This is true of its attempt to grant real historical salience to a feature of Roman law on agency that many probably knew at the level of doctrine but whose implications for the economy few had considered.Clifford Ando, Professor of Roman Law and Classics at the University of Chicago *A must-read for any social and economic and legal historian of antiquity. Both the general overview of the subject matter and the points of detail are innovative and important. * Marco Maiuro, Professor of Roman History at the University of Rome ("La Sapienza") *Engaging with one of the most intriguing aspects of the way the Romans dealt with entrepreneurial matters, this book is a very illuminating piece of scholarship, proof that people with actual business experience can contribute decisively to the field of economic history. * Gilles Bransbourg, American Numismatic Society *It is important to point out that, while this review may well present supporters of Classics for All with a new and, frankly, astonishing aspect of the ancient world, the importance of this book for academics, which cannot be overestimated, lies in the expertise with which C. selects from, and the crystal clarity with which he analyses, the mountains of evidence that the jurists and inscriptions have left on the topic. It all adds up to a fascinating and extremely important contribution to our understanding of the nature of slavery in the Roman world. * Peter Jones, Classics for All *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Chapter 1 Inequality Chapter 2 Fiction: Reconciling Economic Reality and Juridicial Principles Chapter 3 Opportunity: From Freedom to Slavery-From Slavery to Freedom Chapter 4 Businesswomen: In Servitude and in Freedom Chapter 5 Servile Imperialism: In Power, In Servitude Works Cited General Index Index of Passages Cited

Oxford University Press The Renaissance of Roman Colonization
Book SynopsisThe colonization policies of Ancient Rome followed a range of legal arrangements concerning property distribution and state formation, documented in fragmented textual and epigraphic sources. When antiquarian scholars rediscovered and scrutinized these sources in the Renaissance, their analysis of the Roman colonial model formed the intellectual background for modern visions of empire. What does it mean to exercise power at and over distance? This book foregrounds the pioneering contribution to this debate of the great Italian Renaissance scholar Carlo Sigonio (1522/3-84). His comprehensive legal interpretation of Roman society and Roman colonization, which for more than two centuries remained the leading account of Roman history, has been of immense (but long disregarded) significance for the modern understanding of Roman colonial practices and of the legal organization and implications of empire. Bringing together experts on Roman history, the history of classical scholarship, and the history of international law, this book analyzes the context, making, and impact of Sigonio''s reconstruction of the Roman colonial model. It shows how his legal interpretation of Roman colonization originated and how it informed the development of legal colonial discourse, from imperial reform and colonial independence in the nascent United States of America to Enlightenment accounts of property distribution. Through a detailed analysis of scholarly and political visions of Roman colonization from the Renaissance to today, this book shows the enduring relevance of legal interpretations of the Roman colonial model for modern experiences of empire.Trade ReviewSeven collected essays, including the Introduction and Epilogue, examine the impact on Romanist scholarship of Carlo Sigonio (1522/23-1584), a Renaissance thinker whose legal interpretation of the "settler-colony" in Roman experience and practice influenced thinkers contemporary to and following him - Machiavelli, Bodin, Anglo-American writers and political actors from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, among others. The case is convincingly made that intra-Empire relations can be as useful as inter-Empire or Empire-outsider relations for appreciating how the antecedents of the contemporary State system operated. * William E.

Oxford University Press The Constitution of the Roman Republic
Book SynopsisThere is no other published book in English studying the constitution of the Roman Republic as a whole. Yet the Greek historian Polybius believed that the constitution was a fundamental cause of the exponential growth of Rome''s empire. He regarded the Republic as unusual in two respects: first, because it functioned so well despite being a mix of monarchy, oligarchy and democracy; secondly, because the constitution was the product of natural evolution rather than the ideals of a lawgiver. Even if historians now seek more widely for the causes of Rome''s rise to power, the importance and influence of her political institutions remains. The reasons for Rome''s power are both complex, on account of the mix of elements, and flexible, inasmuch as they were not founded on written statutes but on unwritten traditions reinterpreted by successive generations. Knowledge of Rome''s political institutions is essential both for ancient historians and for those who study the contribution of Rome toTrade ReviewThis study remains as important to students of ancient history as to classicists. * Contemporary Review *Table of ContentsI.

University of Notre Dame Press Behind the Scenes at Galileos Trial
Book SynopsisGalileo''s trial in 1633 before the Roman Inquisition is one of the most frequently mentioned topics in the history of science. Galileo''s encounter with the Catholic Church was not only a major turning point in the history of western culture; it is the paradigm case of the clash between the institutional authority of religion and the authority of scientific reason, a clash that has helped to define the modern era. Blackwell''s new contribution to the Galileo affair concerns the official theological position against Galileo. The centerpiece of his project is the treatise entitled Tractatus syllepticus, written by Melchior Inchofer, S.J., whose judgment of the orthodoxy of Galileo''s Dialogue had been requested earlier by the Holy Office and was then incorporated into the proceedings of the trial. At the time, Inchofer''s judgment against Galileo''s book was both detailed and harsh. That judgment formed the basis for Inchofer''s subsequent Tractatus, the fTrade Review“Though the conduct of Galileo's trial was probably less sinister than Blackwell has suggested, with these two defenses of the Church's condemnation of Copernicanism we have a new, intriguing glimpse behind the scenes.” —The Renaissance Quarterly"Blackwell exposes details of the infamous trial that are not universally known: Galileo's explanation in the first session that he did not know there was a warning against writing the book that brought him to the Inquisition, his premature admission of guilt in the second session, and the misreporting of court proceedings to the cardinal in terms that would resonate with them. . . . Recommended." —Choice“Richard Blackwell’s latest foray into scholarship on the Galileo affair contains detective history, careful scholarship, theological ruminations, and excellent translation work. The most tantalizing piece is chapter 1, titled ‘The Legal Case at Galileo’s Trial: Impasse and Perfidy,’ which pushes a thesis that involves plea bargains, mysterious saboteur(s), and a miscarriage of justice.” —The Sixteenth Century Journal“If the evidence does not support a plot in Galileo’s sense, Blackwell’s account provides a scenario for a spellbinding novel. The story leaves enough latitude for the reader to draw his own conclusions. Although scholars both acquit and condemn the Church, the underlying issue remains: what constitutes a demonstration?” — The Review of Metaphysics“There are many reasons why this 'Galileo affair' is uniquely important in modern history. One is that it is instructive for understanding the interaction between science and religion. Blackwell adds some nuances to the conflictualist thesis. . . . The main theme of Blackwell's book is that of exploring 'behind the scenes at Galileo's trial.'. . . This trial is one of the best-documented episodes emblematic of modernity . . . this book makes a valuable contribution and provides a model for this type of inquiry.” —Journal of Modern History“It was faith against reason, entrenched religious orthodoxy against radically new scientific fact. Richard J. Blackwell (St. Louis, emeritus) is an expert on philosophy but here he diligently presents the complex religious and scientific details of the matter within the historical context of Galileo’s time.” — Bibliotheque d’Humanisme et Renaissance

Edinburgh University Press The Roman Law of Inheritance
Book SynopsisFritz Schulz once famously described the Roman law of inheritance as labyrinthine and it is deemed to be the most complex part of the Roman legal system. As Rome evolved from a city-state to an imperial power, the rules of inheritance often changed because of the economic importance of acquisition at death. These changes are reflected in the Corpus iuris civilis, despite the best efforts of the compilers of the Corpus to eliminate variations in the text in order to standardise the existing material for the purposes of their compilation.The Roman Law of Inheritance gives the reader an insight into the content, structure and evolution of Roman inheritance law and provides an understanding of a fundamental part of Roman legal thought. In addition, it tackles the most difficult features of Roman law of inheritance, including the fideicommissa and the interpretation of wills which are explained against the background of historical stratification.

Peter Lang Publishing Inc Outlawry Governance and Law in Medieval England
Book SynopsisOutlawry, Governance, and Law in Medieval England evaluates the role of exclusionary practices, namely outlawry, in law and governance in England from the tenth through the thirteenth centuries. Traditional historical narratives dismiss exile, outlawry, and banishment as ineffective and weak methods of maintaining social order. More specifically, the present volume reassesses these forms of exclusion in matters of politics, law, and society, as well as their influence on increased use of imprisonment in later medieval England. Outlawry, Governance, and Law in Medieval England is essential reading for scholars working in this field but is also highly recommended as a text for courses that assess medieval law and the practice of outlawry as well as the development of English Common Law.Table of ContentsContents: Outlaws, outlawry, and the complexities of language and practice – Outlawry, exile, and banishment in Anglo-Saxon England – Outlawry, exile, and imprisonment in Norman and Anglo-Norman governance and law – Outlawry, kingship and legal reform during the reign of Henry II – Outlawry, abjuration, and imprisonment up to the personal rule of Henry III – Henry III and the customs, laws, and politics of outlawry and imprisonment during the thirteenth century – Edwardian legislation, the end of the eyre, and the position of outlawry at the end of the thirteenth century – Reassessing outlawry in governance and law in medieval England.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Iniuria and the Common Law
Book SynopsisThe delict of iniuria is among the most sophisticated products of the Roman legal tradition. The original focus of the delict was assault, although iniuria-literally a wrong or unlawful act-indicated a very wide potential scope. Yet it quickly grew to include sexual harassment and defamation, and by the first century CE it had been re-oriented around the concept of contumelia so as to incorporate a range of new wrongs, including insult and invasion of privacy. In truth, it now comprised all attacks on personality. It is the Roman delict of iniuria which forms the foundation of both the South African and-more controversially-Scots laws of injuries to personality. On the other hand, iniuria is a concept formally alien to English law. But as its title suggests, this book of essays is representative of a species of legal scholarship best described as 'oxymoronic comparative law', employing a concept peculiar to one legal tradition in order to interrogate another where, apparently, it does not belong. Addressing a series of doctrinal puzzles within the law of assault, defamation and breach of privacy, it considers in what respects the Roman delict of iniuria overlaps with its modern counterparts in England, Scotland and South Africa; the differences and similarities between the analytical frameworks employed in the ancient and modern law; and the degree to which the Roman proto-delict points the way to future developments in each of these three legal systems.Trade Review[An] admirable volume which contains eleven excellent essays...a most rewarding source of information [and] a considerable pleasure to read. -- Geoffrey MacCormack * The Edinburgh Law Review *The book bristles with stimulating analysis that shows the sometimes surprising interaction of Roman, South African, Scots and English law. -- Ken Oliphant * Yearbook of European Tort Law *[T]his is a well-presented book which reports an interesting seminar that has achieved its goal... -- Tammo Wallinga * Roman Legal Tradition, Volume 10 *Table of Contents1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC CHARACTER & INFLUENCE OF THE ROMAN LAW
Book SynopsisGoethe is said to have likened the Roman civil law to a duck: sometimes it is visible, swimming prominently on the surface of the water, at other times it is hidden, diving amid the depths. but it is always there. This may be said to be true not only in continental Europe and Scotland, where Roman law has been a dominant influence, but also in England and the U.S.A., where Roman law has often informed and supplemented Common law. None of the great writers on Common law, with the exception perhaps of Coke, failed to take Roman law in to consideration, especially on the matters of legal theory. Indeed the differences between the two systems can easily be exaggerated. Ne one is better qualified to write on these matters than Peter Stein; this collection of his articles covers both the nature and the tradition of Roman law and ranges from classical to modern times. The Character and Influence of the Roman Civil Law includes discussions of the ethos and principles of Roman law and of their transmission and transformation in medieval and modern times. Attention is drawn to the working of Roman law in San Marinom which retains the uncodified ius commune.Civil lawyers in England whose work is examined include Vacarius, Thomas Smith and Thomas Legge. Roman law in Scotland is looked at in depth, with special consideration for the natural law tradtition there. A piece on the origin of the four stage theory of social development, which grew out of that tradition and was adopted by Adam Smith, appears for the first time. Finally Professor Stein shows the attraction of Roman law to lawyers in the U.S.A. when they were trying to establish their own legal system following Independence.

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Historical Analysis of the Catalan Identity
Book SynopsisThe book derives from an European Science Foundation project about the cohesion of European regions developed between 2010 and 2013. Flocel Sabaté led into this framework a team of fourteen scholars looking for the reason of the cohesion and permanence of Catalonia from Middle Ages to current days. This collective book arrives at an updated explanation, far from neoromantic visions and attentive to social vectors, such as socioeconomical convergence, external and internal perception, social representation, institutional development, creation of a justificative discourse and influence of the law, the language, the art and other cultural items.Table of ContentsContents: Joandomènec Ros: Preface – Flocel Sabaté: Catalonia among the Longstanding Regions of Europe – Flocel Sabaté: The Medieval Roots of Catalan Identity – Antoni Simon: The Centuries Ushering in Modernity: Identity, State and Nation – Antoni Simon: «Catalans and Spaniards»: Two Peoples Chosen for a Single Promised Land – Ignasi Fernández: Catholics and Catalans: Religion in Catalan Identity in the 16th and 17th Centuries – Òscar Jané: France and the Formation of Political and Social Identities in 17th Century Catalonia – Cristian Palomo: Catalan National Identity in the 18th Century: The War of the Spanish Succession and the Bourbon Regime – Jordi Casassas: The Contemporary World: A Increasingly Noticeable Distinct Identity – David Cao: Catalonia: Unique Consciousness and Collective Identity in the First Half of the 18th Century: Notes and Consideration – Giovanni C.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Die coniunctio in testamentarischen Verfügungen
Book SynopsisDer Begriff coniunctio umschreibt in den erbrechtlichen Quellen meist eine vom Erblasser durch eine testamentarische Verfügung geschaffene Verbindung von einzelnen Erben oder Vermächtnisnehmern. Hierbei finden sich vor allem in Bezug auf anwachsungsrechtliche Fallgestaltungen unterschiedliche Aussagen zu der Frage, mit welchen Mitteln der Erblasser die coniunctio herstellen kann. Susanne Lösch untersucht daher durch ausführliche Exegesen, unter welchen Voraussetzungen eine Einsetzung in einem Testament als coniunctim zu bezeichnen ist. Den Schwerpunkt der Arbeit bildet dabei die Herausarbeitung der Problematik, dass der Begriff coniunctio von den klassischen Juristen einerseits zur Umschreibung der Tatbestandsvoraussetzungen der Anwachsung verwendet, andererseits aber auch für Fallkonstellationen gebraucht wurde, in denen er nicht zwingend die Rechtsfolge der Anwachsung herbeiführen musste.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Ius pontificium cum iure civili coniunctum: Das
Book SynopsisBei der Arrogation handelt es sich um ein aus archaischer Zeit stammendes Institut des römischen Rechts, welches durch Volksgesetz einen freien Mann in eine fremde Verwandtschaftsgruppe eingliedert und ihn der personenrechtlichen Gewalt eines anderen unterordnet. In klassischer Zeit wird die Arrogation als ein Sonderfall der Adoption wahrgenommen.Anna Margarete Seelentag geht von dem Gedanken aus, dass das Recht der Arrogation in besonderer Weise durch das Zusammenspiel der Rechtsschichten des ius pontificium und des ius civile gekennzeichnet ist. Dies wird anhand ausgewählter Arrogationskonstellationen, u.a. der Freigelassenenarrogation, der Unmündigenarrogation und der Arrogation eines Älteren durch einen Jüngeren, demonstriert. Dabei zeichnet die Autorin die Entwicklung des Arrogationsrechts in klassischer Zeit nach, welche sich als eine zunehmende Integration des Rechtsinstituts in das Privatrecht begreifen lässt.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Obligatio re contracta: Ein Beitrag zur
Book SynopsisGegenstand dieser Untersuchung ist die Kategorie der Realverträge im römischen Recht, deren Elemente nach herrschender Meinung das Darlehen ( mutuum), die Leihe ( commodatum), die Verwahrung ( depositum) und das Faustpfand ( pignus) sind. Sie wurzelt in der mittelalterlichen Rechtswissenschaft (sog. contractus re). Die römische Jurisprudenz kannte jedoch nur einen Entstehungsgrund einer obligatio re contracta, nämlich das mutuum, da für die römischen Juristen das re contrahere durch eine Eigentumsübertragung an einer Sache ( datio rei) charakterisiert war, nicht durch eine bloße Sachhingabe. Unsere Quellen sprechen maßgeblich dafür, dass die intellektuelle Heimat der Realvertraglichkeitvon commodatum, depositum und pignus nicht im klassischen römischen Recht zu finden ist. Die römische Kategorie der Realverträge, so wie wir sie uns vorstellen, stellt ein falsches retrospektives Konstrukt dar.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Actio Funeraria: Prinzip und Fall der
Book SynopsisWer im antiken Rom einen fremden Verstorbenen bestattete, konnte seine Aufwendungen mit der Bestattungsklage, der actio funeraria, von demjenigen verlangen, der für die Bestattung eigentlich zuständig gewesen war. Dies galt selbst dann, wenn dieser die Bestattung verboten hatte.Die Verfasser des BGB griffen bei der Kodifikation des § 679 BGB, der die verbotswidrige Geschäftsführung ohne Auftrag zum Gegenstand hat, maßgeblich auf den Rechtsgedanken der actio funeraria zurück. Oliver Unger beleuchtet diesen Zusammenhang anhand der entstehungsgeschichtlichen Materialien. Er verortet die verbotswidrige Bestattung im Recht und der Rechtswirklichkeit des antiken Rom und analysiert die Behandlung bestattungsrechtlicher Verbotsfälle nach dem geltenden Recht der Geschäftsführung ohne Auftrag.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Imperium: Die Rechtsnatur der Europäischen Union
Book SynopsisDie Europäische Union gilt in der staats- und völkerrechtlichen Forschung weder als Staatenbund noch als Bundesstaat, sondern als historisch einzigartige und unvergleichbare Ordnung "sui generis". Mit Blick auf die Geschichte imperialer Ordnungen ist der Diskurs über das Wesen der Europäischen Union aber stets unvollständig geblieben, obwohl diese wesentliche gemeinsame Merkmale haben. Dazu gehören neben ihrer Supranationalität und der Ausübung von Macht über andere Staaten die Ausdehnung und Entgrenzung ihrer Ordnung, ihr Universalismus und ihre innere kulturelle Vielfalt sowie die damit einhergehenden Differenzierungen der Verfassungen, Verträge und Rechtsordnungen zwischen Zentrum und Peripherie. Der vergleichende Blick auf das Römische und Britische Reich, daneben auch das Heilige Römische Reich und andere imperiale Gebilde offenbart mitunter erstaunlich aktuelle Parallelen zum Prozess der Europäischen Integration.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Menschen und Recht: Fallstudien zu Rechtsfragen
Book SynopsisWas passiert, wenn Menschliches - teils auch allzu Menschliches - und Juristisches auf der Komödienbühne der Antike aufeinandertreffen? Die Beiträger des vorliegenden Bandes präsentieren zu dieser Frage sieben Fallstudien, wovon vier im Rahmen eines Oberseminars über das Thema "Menschen und Recht in der griechischen und römischen Komödie" im Sommersemester 2011 an der Universität Göttingen unter der Leitung der beiden Herausgeber stattfanden. Sie wollen zeigen, wie in der griechischen und römischen Komödie - von Aristophanes bis Terenz - menschliche Beziehungen und juristische Gegebenheiten sich zu "dramatischen" Handlungsabläufen verbinden, die bis heute nicht an Aktualität eingebüßt haben.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) On Jews in the Roman World: Collected Studies
Book SynopsisThe present volume presents a selection of studies by Ranon Katzoff on Jews in the ancient Roman world. Common to them is that they deal with Jews in liminal situations - confronted with non-Jewish, mainly Roman, laws, places, government, and modes of thought. In these studies - in which texts in Greek and Latin and rabbinic texts (all in translation) elucidate each other - Jews are shown to be rather loyal to their Jewish traditions, a controversial conclusion.The first two sections concern law. Section one searches the remains of popular Jewish culture for evidence on the degree to which rabbinic law really prevailed, through the study of Judaean Desert documents, mainly those of Babatha. Section two sifts through rabbinic law for traces of Roman law. Section three comprises studies of Jews in, to, and from the city of Rome, and section four a miscellany of studies on Jews confronted with non-Jewish life.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Recht und Billigkeit: Zur Geschichte der
Book SynopsisWährend das, was geltende Gesetze sind und sollen (erst recht wenn sie geschrieben sind), kaum jemals ein Gegenstand von Kontroversen war, gehen und gingen die Lehrmeinungen hinsichtlich der Frage, was ἐπιείκεια, aequitas oder Billigkeit sei, in der Geschichte der Jurisprudenz und der Philosophie weit auseinander. Wie sich geltendes Recht und das elementare Gerechtigkeitsprinzip der Billigkeit zueinander verhalten, kann nur deutlich werden, wenn man die maßgeblichen historischen Positionen miteinander vergleicht. Zu diesem Zweck rollt der vorliegende Band die genannte Fragestellung interdisziplinär und anhand exemplarischer Antworten auf. In 22 Beiträgen widmen sich namhafte Expertinnen und Experten den historischen Positionen. Das Ergebnis ist ein Längsschnitt im Breitwandpanorama, das von Platon und Aristoteles bis zum BGB und zum Europäischen Gerichtshof reicht.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Causa contractus: Auf der Suche nach den
Book SynopsisDie europäische Tradition verbindet in der Rede von der causa die Frage nach dem Zweck eines konkreten Vertrages mit der Suche nach dem Grund für seine Geltung. In Frankreich wurde die Doktrin nicht einmal dadurch erledigt, dass man 2016 das Wort aus dem Code Civil strich. Umso weniger ist man in Italien geneigt, diesem Beispiel zu folgen; im Gegenteil blüht dort die causa -Lehre. Deutschen und englischen Juristen hingegen bleibt die causa als Erfordernis des Vertrages fremd, obgleich auch sie Zwecke in vielfältiger Weise berücksichtigen (insbesondere bei der Bewältigung von Störungen der Vertragsdurchführung). Das vorliegende Buch soll zur europäischen Verständigung beitragen. Dabei sind auch klaffende Unterschiede zwischen der französischen und der italienischen Lehre zu überbrücken. Aufbauend auf Dogmengeschichte und Rechtsvergleich wirft der Band Schlaglichter auf die Zukunft der causa in Europa. Er enthält Beiträge in deutscher, französischer, italienischer und englischer Sprache, die durch englische Einführungskapitel zusammengefasst werden.
