The civil law systems of continental Europe, Latin America and
other parts of the world, including Japan, share a common legal
heritage derived from Roman law. However, it is an inheritance
which has been modified and adapted over the centuries as a result
of contact with Germanic legal concepts, the work of jurists in the
mediaeval universities, the growth of the canon law of the western
Church, the humanist scholarship of the Renaissance and the
rationalism of the natural lawyers of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. This volume provides a critical appreciation
of modern civilian systems by examining current rules and
structures in the context of their 2,500 year development. It is
not a narrative history of civil law, but an historical examination
of the forces and influences which have shaped the form and the
content of modern codes, as well as the legislative and judicial
processes by which they are created are administered.
