Legum multitudo Buchkatalog

»Legum multitudo« According to a paradigm established by Giovanni Rotondi and Fritz Schulz at the beginning of the 20th century, Roman private law is not determined by statutes (leges) but rather by the legal doctrine and jurisprudence. As shown by Dario Mantovani in 2012, there are strong arguments against this thesis as it appears to have as its premise that in private law matters social mores are the primary source of law. Ulrike Babusiaux translated Mantovani's reasoning to German in order to promote a wider discussion of his ground-breaking insights.
