Is comparative legal history an emerging discipline or a
much-needed dialogue between two academic subjects? This research
handbook presents the field in a uniquely holistic way, and
illustrates how comparative law and legal history are inextricably
related. Cementing a solid theoretical grounding for the
discipline, legal historians and comparatists place this subject at
the forefront of legal science. Comprehensive in coverage, this
handbook collates theory and method for comparative legal history,
as well as discussing international legal sources and judicial and
civil institutions. Particular attention is paid to custom and
codification, contracts, civil procedure and ownership. By
assessing the evolution of law across European, Asian, African and
American environments from the pre-modern era to the nineteenth
century, the chapters provide stimulating and enlightening cases of
legal history through a comparative lens. A centrepiece for this
field of scholarship, this research handbook will be an essential
resource for scholars interested in comparative law, legal theory
and legal history, from both legal and social science backgrounds.
