A History of Private Law in Europe
Autor Franz Wieacker Traducere de Tony Weir Cuvânt înainte de Reinhard Zimmermannen Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 ian 1996
In this book Franz Wieacker tells how legal thinking, writing and teaching started in Europe and how it developed. He begins in the High Middle Ages and describes how the Glossators laid down the foundations by applying methodical criticism and exegesis to the Digest of Justinian. As Reinhard Zimmermann's foreword shows, Wieacker's way of telling the history of European legal thought from its origins in medieval Bologna down to the present day and of elucidating theintellectual conditions for its development is a stunning achievement.One of the great strengths of the book lies in its demonstration of the constant interaction between the thinking of lawyers and the general philosophical ideas of their time: between Scholasticism and medieval legal science, between the enlightenment and the Law of Reason, between Classicism (and Romanticism) and Savigny's Historical School of Law.It is hardly surprising that so ambitious and erudite a work should have become a classic since 1952, when it was first published in German. Now Tony Weir's brilliant translation makes the seond and final edition accessible to English-speaking scholars the world over.

Recenzii
Oxford University Press and Tony Weir, the translator of the present edition, deserve to be applauded for providing this translation...Tony Weir's translation reads like a work that was originally written in English, so convincing is it...as one might expect from a work bearing the Clarendon Press imprint, the editing is of high quality and accuracy. There is a useful general index and separate index of persons. In these days of European Union, no legal historian or European private lawyer can afford to be without a copy of this book.
