Présentation de l'éditeur
Lectures printed in this Volume an attempt is made to carry farther in some particulars the line of inv istigation pursued by the Author in an earlier work on 4A ncient Law. The fortunes of the legal system which then supplied him with the greatest number of his illustrations have been strikingly unlike those of another body of law from which he has now endeavoured to obtain some new materials for legal and social history. The Eoman Law has never ceased to be spoken of with deep respect, and it is in fact the source of the greatest part of the rules by which civil life is still governed in theW estern World.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient legal systems, with a particular focus on the little-understood Brehon Laws of Ireland. The author sheds light on these ancient legal principles, dispelling long-held misconceptions and revealing their surprising connections to other historical legal traditions. Through meticulous analysis of the Brehon Law tracts, the author unveils a sophisticated system of rules developed by a class of professional lawyers known as Brehons. This system, predating Roman and English legal influences, offers a unique window into the social and legal structures of ancient Celtic society. Exploring topics like kinship, land ownership, and the role of chieftains, the author draws intriguing parallels between the Brehon Laws and other ancient Aryan legal systems, such as those of the Hindus and Germanic peoples. This comparative approach challenges previously held assumptions about the supposed barbarity of the Brehon Laws and highlights their historical significance. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on the Brehon Laws, demonstrating their importance not only for understanding ancient Irish society but also for illuminating the broader development of legal systems across cultures and time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781451018158_0
