Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Principle and Pragmatism in Roman Law by Edited by Dr Benjamin Spagnolo Edited by Joe Sampson
This edited collection presents an interesting and original series of essays on the roles of principle and pragmatism in Roman private law. The book traverses key areas of Roman law to examine the explanatory power of - and delineate interactions between - abstract doctrinal principle and pragmatic real-world problem-solving. Essays canvassing sources of law property succession contracts and delicts sketch the varied roles of theoretical narratives - whether internal to Roman doctrine or derived from external influence - and of practical policy-based solutions in the jurists’ thought.
