The Cambridge Companion to Ancient Greek Law
New York: Cambridge University Press, 2005. 1st Edition. Soft cover. 8vo. Fine. Item #006513
Soft cover. xiii, 480 pp. A clean, fine copy. This companion volume provides a comprehensive overview of the major themes and topics pertinent to ancient Greek law. A substantial introduction establishes the recent historiography on this topic and its development over the past 30 years. Many of the twenty-two chapters, written by an international team of experts, deal with procedural and substantive law in classical Athens, but significant attention is also paid to legal practice in the archaic and Hellenistic eras; areas that offer substantial evidence for legal practice, such as Crete and Egypt; the intersection of law with religion, philosophy, political theory, rhetoric, and drama; as well as the unity of Greek law and the role of writing in law.
