Review
‘In Roman Law in European History, a master gives his readers both an introduction to the law of ancient Rome and an account of how that law lived on, well after the demise of the ancient society. For students and for scholarly beginners, this short book is an excellent way to learn the story and to understand its importance. … Although it is a summary that is mindful of the uninitiated, this small book manages not to sacrifice the rigorous or the scholarly.’ David V. Snyder, Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, Cleveland State University

‘Every scholar will learn from this account, and students coming fresh to the subject will find it an excellent place to start.’ The Journal of Ecclesiastical History
