A. BIBLIOGRAPHIES.

1. Works on Roman Law

36 a. For the studies on Roman law of earlier centuries it will suffice to cite

3. Camus. Profession d'avocat. Bibliothdque choisie des livres de droit quil

est leplus utile d’acqutrir et de connaitreifith ed.

I n this item reference is made to earlier bibliographies, such as that of Lipen- ius. *

b. There exist a number of what may be termed national bibliographies, emphasizing works on Roman law by local scholars. For modern woks by Italian scholars, see

4. de Francisci, P. Il diritto romano (Rome 1923), in the series Guide bibliografiche.

5. Sanfilippo, C. Bibliografia romanistica italiana, 1939-1949 (Catania 1949), supplements the above for the years indicated.

For French authors or authors translated into French,

6. Collinet, P. Bibliographie des travaux de droit romain en langue fran- eaise, jusqu'en 1928 (Paris 1930), with additions by P. Ciapessoni, Athenaeum, n.s. 10 (1932) 93-96.

The articles and book reviews which have appeared in the first seventy- five volumes of the German periodical devoted to Roman law have been indexed, by author and subject matter, as well as by references to the sources cited in the articles (see also infra, § 40),

8. Sachers, E. 'Generalregister zu den Bänden I - L (1880-1930)’, SZ, Roman. Abt. (Weimar 1932), and

9. Sachers, E. ‘Generalregister zu den Bänden LI - LXXV, Teil I: Quel­lenregister*, SZ, Roman. Abt. (Weimar 1967); ‘Teil II: Autoren- und Sachregister’, SZ, Roman. Abt. (Weimar 1970).

c. A bibliography with more comprehensive coverage and emphasizing recent works is

10.

Covering limited periods of time are three other bibliographies,

11. Monier, R. Bibliographie des travaux rdeents de droit romain (Paris 1944), comprising works which appeared between 1938 and 1942, supplemented by

1. Bibliotheca realis iuridica, 2 vds. (Lipsiac 1757); 2 vols„ supp. (Lipsiac 1775, 1789).

12. Monicr, R. and M. Lemosse. Bibliographic des travaux rdcents de droit romain (1944-48) (Paris 1949).

13. Henrion, R. ‘Bibliographic des travaux de droit romain privd publids en Belgique et aux Pays-Bas, 1935-1947’, AHDE 18 (1947) 685-90.

14. Berger, A. and A. Schiller. ‘Bibliography of Anglo-American Studies in Roman, Greek and Greco-Egyptian Law and Related Sciences, 1939-1945’, Seminar 3 (1945) 75-94; and for 1945-1947, Seminar 5 (1947) 62-85.

d. There exists no Roman law bibliography with full coverage of modem books and articles, although one has been promised, a projected biblio­graphy of 19th and 20th century studies in Roman law written in west European languages. To date, however, there has appeared only:

15. Caes, L. and R. Henrion (in recent volumes L. Caes alone). Collectio bibliographica operum ad ius romanum pertinentium, Series I: Opera edita in periodids miscellaneis encyclopaediisque (Bruxelles 1949-74), 23 vois. in 15, with SuppL I (1969) and II (1970)

which, as the scries title indicates, covers only articles - in the widest sense of the term - from 1800 to the present day, and

16. Caes, L. and R. Henrion. Collectio... Series II: Theses (Bruxelles 1959, 1960), 2 vols.,

as yet only dissertations submitted in French and German universities since 1800 and 1885, respectively. Series III: Opera praeter theses separatim vel etiam coniunctim edita, has not as yet appeared.

A recent selection of books and articles on Roman law is that contained in four parts of the current English and French

17. Bibliographical Introduction to Legal History and Ethnology! Introduc­tion bibliographique d Ihistoire du droit et d fethnologie juridique,ed.

Stein, P. Roman law {Sources) [A/9] (Bruxelles 1965) Liebmann-Frankfort, Th. Droit romain (Droit public) [A/10] (Bruxelles

1967)

Michel, J.-H. Droit romain {Droit privf) [A/l 1 ] (Bruxelles 1972) Thomas, J. A. C. Roman law (Criminal law) [A/12] (Bruxelles 1965)

Another selective bibliography, limited to books only,

18. Schiller, A. A. Roman Law (Association of American Law Schools, Law Books Recommendedfor Libraries, No. 43) (So. Hackensack, N J.

1968).

This selection was made from a bibliography of more than 2100 entries - books only - of modern Roman law, excluding medieval and early modem works as well as Pandect treatises. It is thus the most comprehensive biblio­graphy of books on Roman law, but exists only in typewritten manuscript at Columbia Law Library, available for Xerox reproduction if desired,

19. Schiller, A. A. Bibliography of Roman Law (A. A.L.S., Libraries Study Project) (Typed MS, Washington, D.C., 1966) 315 p.

This bibliography has been supplemented for the years 1966-1969, inclusive, by Schiller, A. A. Roman Law Supplement (A.A.L.S., Law Books Recom­mended for Libraries, No. 43 Supplement) (So. Hackensack, N.J., 1974).

e. Fairly extensive bibliographies are to be found in two recent encyclo­pedias,

20. Berger, A. Encyclopedic Dictionary... (see infra, No. 62) 786-808.

21. Orestano, R. ‘Diritto romano', NNDI (see infra, No. 68) 5 (1960) 1039-47,

as well as in a number of general treatises on Roman law, e.g.,

22. Guarino, A. Storia del diritto romano (4th ed., 1969) 649-80.

f. The articles contributed to Studies in Honor, Festschriften, etc., are indexed both by author and subject matter in two bibliographies,

23. Rounds, D. Articles on Antiquity in Festschriften. An Index (Cam bridge, Mass., 1962).

24. Caes, L. and R. Henrion. Collectio... (seesupra, No. 15), vol. 6, which is kept up to date in subsequent volumes of the same series.

g. It should be noted that lists of works of individual scholars are to be found very often in the necrologies dedicated to these scholars.

2. Current Bibliography on Roman Law

In a number of periodicals the attempt has been made to cover the current publications in Roman law in survey form,

25. ‘Bibliografia’, in BIDR 20-26 (1908-1913), 29 (1916), 36 (1928), 39 (1931) and 40 (1932), for the years 1906-1931.

26. 'Bulletin bibliographique’, in RH 1-7 (1922-1928). for the years 1922-1928; recently succeeded by ’Droits de I’antiquiU: Monde romain’, in RH 39 (1961) to date.

The most complete coverage, however, is afforded - since 1949 - by

27. ‘Rassegna bibliografica’, in lura 1 (1950) to date,

an annual survey to which each author contributes a digest of each of his publications during the year, supplemented by the editorial board of the periodical when the author has failed to submit his own digest.

28. ‘Bibliografia’, in Labeo 1 (1955) to date,

has a listing of books and articles in each issue subsumed under entries which have been taken from the entries employed by Berger, Encyclopedic Dic­tionary... (infra, No. 62). In addition,

29. Centre de Documentation des Droits Antiques (Paris). Fichier editi par le Centre, direction J. Guademet,

a twice-a-year distribution of library catalog cards of publications of Roman law, within a comprehensive card file of works on ancient Mediterranean legal, political, economic and social institutions.

3. Legal Papyrology

a. Works dealing with Roman law in Egypt, and more particularly with Greco-Egyptian law, are included within the bibliographies devoted to papyrology generally,

30. Peremans, W. and J. Vergote. Papyrologisch Handbook (Leuven 1942), pp. 188-202.

31. D’Ors, A. Introduction al estudio de los documentos del Egipto romano (Madrid 1948), appended to the individual chapters.

Specifically, for the Byzantine period,

32. Bataille, A. Les papyrus (Trade d’etudes byzantines, II) (Paris 1955), pp. 51-55.

A recent bibliography devoted to legal history and institutions of the Hel­lenistic world is that by

33.

Current bibliographies of legal papyri and secondary literature-to 1932- are found in the survey of

34. Preisendanz, K. Papyrusfunde und Papyrusforschung (Leipzig 1933), pp. 303 ff.

Several journals keep abreast with the publication of legal papyri and with articles devoted to law in Greco-Roman Egypt, in the sections on law in current bibliographies,

35. ‘Bibliografia metodica degli studi di egittologia e di papirologia’ and ‘Testi recentemente pubblicati’, in Aegyptus, since vol. 1 (1920).

36. ‘Bulletin papyrologique’, ed. by M. Hombert (formerly de Ricci and Collart), in Rev. Et. Gr. 14-79 (1901-1966), covering the years 1900-1959.

37. ‘Bibliography: Greco-Roman Egypt, Papyri: Law’, ed. successively by H. I. Bell, F. de Zulueta, H. F. Jolowicz and F. Pringsheim, in JEA 1-26, for the years 1914-1941.

There exists, further, a general papyrological bibliography, published on library catalog cards, which indexes legal papyri and secondary legal liter­ature,

38. ‘Bibliographic papyrologique’, distributed by Fondation Egypto- logique Reine Elizabeth, Brussels.

b. Specifically devoted to legal papyroiogy are a number of surveys, many current today,

39. ‘Neue Rechtsurkunden’, by L. Wenger, in Krit. Vjschr., 3 F., 14 (1912), 15(1913), 18(1919) and 20(1923).

40. ‘Juristische Literaturubersicht’, by L. Mitteis, J. Partsch, L. Wenger, H. J. Wolff, in Arch. Pap. 7, 9-17 (1928-1962), for the years 1912­1961.

To serve as a supplement to his volume, Juristische Papyri (1920), there was a series of surveys,

41. ‘Neue juristische Papyrus-Urkunden und Literatur’, by P. M. Meyer, in Z. vergl. R. 39 and 40 (1921-1922), continued as ‘Juristischer Papy- rusbericht’, in the even-number volumes of SZ 44 to 54 inclusive (1924-1934).

A comprehensive survey of legal papyroiogy of great value, since 1935, is

42. ‘Juristische Papyruskunde’, by E. Seidl in SDHI 1 (1935) to 6(1940), for the period 1935-1939, and intermittently, in 15(1949), 18(1952), 21 (1955), 24 (1958), 27 (1961), 30 (1964), 33 (1967), 36 (1970), covering the years to date, now carried on by J.

Short surveys of legal texts and literature, under the headings

43. ‘Survey of Papyri* and ‘Survey of Literature’, by R. Taubenschlag (and now others), in Jour. Jur. Pap. 1 to date, covering 1939-date.

c. The contribution of Coptic papyri and ostraca to the law of Byzantine and early Arabic Egypt is surveyed by

44. Schiller, A. A. ‘Koptisches Recht’, Krit. Vjschr. 25 (1932) and 27 (1934).

The volumes of texts in which Coptic legal papyri and ostraca are published are listed by

45. Schiller, A. A. ‘Prolegomena to the Study of Coptic Law’, AHDO 2 (1938), 348-57, continued in ‘Coptic Documents’, Z. vergl. R. 60 (1957) 193-97. Newly revised in BASP 13 (1976) No. 3.

4. Legal Epigraphy

A specialized current discussion has been provided in a survey of inscrip­tions of legal interest and secondary literature on legal epigraphy,

46. ‘Epigrafia giuridica greca e romana’, by V. Arangio-Ruiz, in SDHI2 (1936) 429-520, and 5 (1939) 521-633, for the years 1933-1938, con­tinued as

‘Epigrafia giuridica greca e romana’, by G. I. Luzzatto, in SDffI 17 Supp. (1951), 384 p., covering the years 1939-1949, and carried on to date,

‘Epigrafia juridica Griega y Romana’, by A. D’Ors, in SDHI20 (1954), 23 (1957), 26 (1960), 29 (1963), 32 (1966), 35(1969) and 38(1972).

There is also an extended dicussion of legal epigraphy by

47. Luzzatto, G. I. ‘Rassegna epigrafica Greco-Romana (1950-1954)’, lura 7 (1956) 537-616, and 8(1957) 126-262,283-438.

Incidentally, the texts of the latest inscriptions published are given in the annual volumes of

48. L'annde tpigraphique. Revue des publications fyigraphiques relatives d Cantiquite romain, since 1888.

5. Agrarian Law

There exists a specialized bibliography of Roman agrarian law,

49. Volterra, E. Bibliografia di diritto agrario romano (Firenze 1951).

6. Byzantine Law

A fairly complete bibliography of works on Byzantine law is

50. Albertoni, A. Per una esposizione del diritto bizantino con riguardo airitalla (Imola 1927).

Another, selective, bibliography of recent date, is

51. de Malafosse, Droit byzantin [ B/4] Introduction bibliographique... (supra No. 17).

A current bibliography was afforded for some years, in

52. ‘Chronique de droit byzantin’, by P. Collinet, in Byzantion 4,6 and 7(1928), 1931 and 1932), for the years 1926-1931.

Short notices of all books and articles concerned with Byzantine legal in­stitutions have been provided for many decades in

53. ‘Bibliographische Notizen und kleinere Mitteilungen*, in Byz. Z. under the rubric ‘Jurisprudenz’, to the present time.

For the last decade there has been a bibliographical survey.

54. ‘Chronique: Monde byzantine’, in RH 40 (1962) to date.
