With a vigor and passion rarely found in a scholarly text, Manlio Bellomo has written a broad history of the western European Legal tradition.
This Common law, which Bellomo calls the ius commune, developed in the twelfth cent.
From the modern age the author looks back to a time when Europe had a Common law that transcended national and Legal boundaries.
It is now made available to an English-speaking audience in an elegant and lucid translation from the original Italian.
