Description

Zouch, Richard. Cases and Questions Resolved in the Civil-Law. Oxford: Printed by Leon. Lichfield for Tho. Robinson, 1652.

One of the founders of modern international law, Richard Zouch (1590–1661) designed his casebook for the civil law student. The fact situations derive from the text of Justinian's Digest. Zouch specifically chose to have it printed in English, rather than the Latin more typical of his works, in the hope the language would render the book more useful to readers with a common law background. This was the only edition published.
