520			_a"This casebook explores the writings of Roman lawyers on the law of contracts, a rich and hugely influential area of Roman private law. The 235 "Cases" are actual texts deriving, for the most part, from the Digest of Justinian (535 CE), but written hundreds of years earlier during the Classical era of Roman law. These Cases give a fairly complete view of the concepts and methods used to create rules and judge contract cases in Roman courts. The casebook concentrates especially on two central Roman contracts, stipulation and sale; but all other contracts are discussed, as well as Roman legal thinking on unjustified enrichment"-- _cProvided by publisher.
