| Tóm tắt: | The use of writing in the development of Greek law was unique. In
this comparative study Professor Gagarin shows the reader how
Greek law developed and explains why it became so different from
the legal systems with which most legal historians are familiar. While
other early communities wrote codes of law for academic or propaganda
purposes, the Greeks used writing extensively to make their
laws available to a relatively large segment of the community. On the
other hand, the Greeks made little use of writing in litigation whereas
other cultures used it extensively in this area, often putting written
documents at the heart of the judicial process. Greek law thereby
avoided becoming excessively technical and never saw the development
of a specialized legal profession. This book will be of interest to
specialists in the history of law, as well as ancient historians. |
