Reprint of the 1918 English translation of the second German edition (1913). Volume 4 in the Continental Legal History Series from the Association of American Law Schools, with an editorial preface by Ernest G. Lorenzen and introductions by Paul Vinogradoff and William E. Walz. This important, massive scholarly survey traces the development of the private law of Germanic countries from their medieval origin to modernity. It became an instant classic and solidified Hübner's reputation as a legal historian.""It raises questions of the highest importance not only for the practical lawyer and the legal historian, but for the student of jurisprudence. It presents a concrete test for the application of various theories as to the national trend of legal thought, as to the leading distinctions between periods, as to the possibility of a 'reception' of foreign law, as to the value of comparative and of analytical study, etc.""Sir Paul VinogradoffIntroduction, xxviiRudolf Hübner [1864-1945] was the author of a number of works on German legal history, particularly medieval Germanic law. He was a professor at the universities of Bonn, Rostock, Giessen, Halle and Jena.lix, 788 pp.
