The first edition of Peter Buckland's classic textbook on the subject was published in 1921. Professor Peter Stein's revised third edition published in 1963 updated the original so that it reflected Professor Buckland's own later thoughts on the subject until his death in 1945. This revised edition examines the law of the Empire (or classical law) and also tracks later developments, including the legislation of Justinian. It is primarily concerned with the law but historical developments are also kept in view, so as to give the student the broadest perspective on the subject.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword to third edition\u003cbr\u003e Preface to first edition\u003cbr\u003e Preface to second edition\u003cbr\u003e Some recent trends in Roman Law studies\u003cbr\u003e Bibliographical note\u003cbr\u003e List of books and periodicals cited by short title\u003cbr\u003e 1.
