Laws of Ancient Crete, C.650-400 Bce

Zusatztext Recognizing that some of their conclusions are challengeable, the authors are careful to point out that they have aimed not at presenting a definitive account of the laws of Crete, but rather at providing a foundation for others to build on. Lawyers and law students especially, will certainly appreciate the almost unique perspective offered by this book on the influence of ancient Cretan culture on the development of Western concepts of law.
