This Roman Law of Obligations comprises notes of lectures given at the University of Edinburgh in 1982 by Peter Birks, who was then Pro­fessor of Civil Law in the Scottish capital.

These notes, his own, were found in his archives some years after his death and are now being published. The rekindled grief for all those who knew him when he was with us will not, it is hoped, overshadow the intellectual pleasure that this manuscript should bring, both to scholars of Roman law and to those interested in the writings of one of the greatest legal academics of his century.
