Reviews
The insights that Watson has into the workings of law and the legal mind are often brilliant, occasionally controversial, but never boring. It's a splendid book. It is sometimes said that 'law is too important to be left to the lawyers.' That should not become an excuse for not mastering the law, although this book shows it has sometimes been used that way. Moreover, it shows how often legal rules have simply been borrowed, without giving any thought to their economic or social consequences. This fact makes it doubly necessary for scholars in other fields to know something about law and comparative legal history., "The insights that Watson has into the workings of law and the legal mind are often brilliant, occasionally controversial, but never boring.

Synopsis
Watson proposes that ancient law is relevant and important for understanding history, theology, sociology, and literature. From the days of Homeric Greece to present-day Armenia, Watson examines law's multilateral influence., In Ancient Law and Modern Understanding Alan Watson proposes that ancient law is relevant and important for understanding history, theology, sociology, and literature. "Law, though technical," he writes, "is not remote from scholarship on other matters, and law is a central element in society." From Homeric Greece to present-day Armenia, Watson examines law's influence. Without a sensitivity to technical legal language, scholars of literature or history miss much: the use of puns in Plautus, Sulla's claim that Julius Caesar was descended from a slave, the relationship between the Synoptic Gospels. Legal history is an essential tool for understanding society, Watson argues, but it must be applied with knowledge of how law moves from one society to the next, legal reliance on authority, juristic concern with apparent trivia, and the impact on legal growth.

- _***1 (371)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaPurchase was for round 2.5 Corningware. Received oval 2.5 Corningware, not round as described in post. . When contacted, seller, rather than replace with correct item, wanted to sell me a round 2.5 casserole.Respuesta de mrliquidatornet- Votos a los que ha respondido el vendedor mrliquidatornet.- Votos a los que ha respondido el vendedor mrliquidatornet.Yes very sorry about the mix up. I did offer you both of the Corningware but never heard back from you. I was hoping to offer the second one for half price. Offer would still stand if you would like it or glad to exchange the items if not. Thank you.
