Opis

This is a thoroughly revised edition of the only full-scale work about possibly the most influential lawyer of all time, the Syrian Ulpian. Ulpian wrote a massive survey of Roman law in 213-17 AD and Tony Honore argues that his philosophy of freedom and equality make him a pioneer of human rights.

Recenzje

Honore's discussions of dating, authenticity, use of sources, and Ulpian's 'empirical method' are rigorously argued and meticulously documented.
