The Roman Law of Obligations presents a series of lectures
delivered by the late Peter Birks as an introductory course in
Roman law. Discovered in complete manuscript form following his
death, the lectures are published here for the first time. The
lectures present a clear conceptual map of the Roman law of
obligations, guiding readers through the institutional structure of
contract, delict, quasi-contract, and quasi-delict. They introduce
readers to the terminology needed to understand the foundations of
Roman law, and the conceptual framework of the law of obligations
that left an enduring legacy on European private law. The lectures
offer an invaluable introduction to Roman private law for those
coming to the subject for the first time. They will also make
stimulating reading for academics and lawyers interested in Roman
law, European legal history, and the lasting influence of Roman law
on modern private law.
