A Short History of Roman Law
The most important creation of the Romans was their law. In this book, Dr Tellegen-Couperus discusses the way in which the Roman jurists created and developed law and the way in which Roman law has come down to us. Special attention is given to questions such as `who were the jurists and their law schools' and to the close connection between jurists and the politics of their time.
Law and Religion in the Roman Republic
Drawing on epigraphic, legal, literary, and numismatic sources, this book reveals how, in the Roman Republic, law and religion interacted to serve the same purpose, the continued growth and consolidation of Rome’s power.
Ad Fundum
On December 12 and 13, 2013, the Department of Public Law, Jurisprudence and Legal History at Tilburg Law School convened an international conference on legal history in honour of Dr. Olga Tellegen-Couperus, who in August of that year had formally retired from Tilburg University after 36 years. Colleagues and friends came from the Netherlands and Europe to celebrate their years of professional exchange and comradeship with Olga. During two enthralling days, those who had known Olga for years and had developed long standing friendships with her mingled with other participants, including Olga's PhD students. The different topics discussed mirrored Olga's broad interests in proper legal history...
Quintilian and the Law
The art of persuasion, as practised today in political debate as well as in the courts of law, has been developed in the rhetorical tradition, but its authors have disappeared from view. One of them was Quintilian, who wrote his Institutio oratoria at the end of the first century AD. This book is special because it contains one of the fullest surveys of rhetorical insights ever written and because it has come down to us in its entirety. Quintilian's rhetorical system has been used in teaching rhetoric at universities since the Middle Ages. The purpose of 'Quintilian and the Law' is to reintroduce Quintilian's Institutio oratoria to modern readers, and to show that the topics discussed in it ...
Cicero's Law
En cubierta posterior: "In his 1995 book 'The spirit of Roman law, ' Alan Watson included a chapter ... titled 'Cicero the outsider.' Watson's argument, following the then dominant Romanist view, was that Cicero's outlook was significantly different from that of the Roman jurists. While Watson's cautious observation has merit in the context of his argument, its subtext is more problematic. It is the purpose of this volume to critique the pervasive view in Roman-law literature that minimises the significance of Cicero in the narrative of Roman law of the late Republic. This reappraisal of the significance of Cicero reflects current thinking in Roman law and forms part of a larger and more complex debate concerning the nature of law and of the legal profession in the last century of the Roman Republic."
New Frontiers
Roman law as a field of study is rapidly evolving to reflect new perspectives and approaches in research. Scholars who work on the subject are increasingly being asked to conduct research in an interdisciplinary manner whereby Roman law is not merely seen as a set of abstract concepts devoid of any background, but as a body of law which operated in a specific social, economic and cultural context. This context-based, 'law and society' approach to the study of Roman law is an exciting new field which legal historians must address. This interdisciplinary collection focuses on three larger themes which have emerged from these studies: Roman legal thought the interaction between legal theory and legal practice and the relationship between law and economics.
