Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the origins of the Roman verbal contract, known as Stipulation, which played a crucial role in Roman law and influenced legal systems worldwide. The author argues that the Stipulation emerged from ancient self-suretyship practices used in legal proceedings, particularly in cases of delict. Initially, the accused or a third party would provide a 'praes' or 'vas'â"a physical guarantor who stood surety for the performance of a legal obligation, such as payment of a fine. Over time, the practice evolved, and the principal party began to assume the role of guarantor, using the term 'spondeo' (I promise) to express their obligation. This practice became the Stipulation, a formal contract binding under the ius gentium (law of nations) and recognized in international proceedings involving Roman citizens and non-citizens alike. The book delves into the historical and linguistic evidence supporting this theory, shedding light on the evolution of contract law and the interplay between procedural and substantive law in ancient Rome.
