Publisher's Synopsis
The Institutes of Roman Law is a comprehensive and authoritative book written by Rudolph Sohm in 1892. It is a detailed study of the Roman legal system that has been highly regarded by legal scholars for over a century. The book covers a range of topics, including the origins of Roman law, the different branches of law, legal procedures, and the principles of Roman jurisprudence. Sohm's writing is clear and concise, making it accessible to both legal professionals and lay readers alike. He draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient Roman legal texts and modern scholarship, to provide a thorough and insightful analysis of the subject. The book is divided into six parts, each of which covers a different aspect of Roman law. Part one provides an overview of the history and development of Roman law, while part two focuses on the law of persons. Part three covers the law of things, while part four deals with the law of obligations. Part five examines the law of actions, and part six discusses the law of public and private law.
