First published in 1925, this book contains the original Latin text of John Selden's 1647 edition of Ad Fletam Dissertatio, with an English translation on each facing page by David Ogg. Selden examines the reception of Roman law in medieval Europe, while Ogg provides a detailed historical grounding for the text and Selden's arguments. This book will be of value to legal historians, particularly those with an interest in the legacy of Roman legal structures.
