R. H. Helmholz

Opis

This study addresses the ius commune's relation to and influence on English law. Helmholz aims to fill in some of the gaps in scholarship on the common legal past of Western law, the history of the Roman and canon laws, the history of the ecclesiastical courts, parallels between the ius commune and English common law, and English church history.

Recenzje

Richard Helmholz in this important book ... has made a notable contribution to comparative legal history; he also sheds much light on the general history of the church in England ... This remarkable book combines broad learning, extensive research, sound judgement and an attractive prose style to produce a work or rare originality, which deserves an audience beyond legal historians.
