Summoned to the Roman Courts is the first work by Detlef Liebs, an internationally recognized expert on ancient Roman law, to be made available in English. Originally presented as a series of popular lectures, this book brings to life a thousand years of Roman history through sixteen studies of famous court cases—from the legendary trial of Horatius for the killing of his sister, to the trial of Jesus Christ, to that of the Christian leader Priscillian for heresy. Drawing on a wide variety of ancient sources, the author not only paints a vivid picture of ancient Roman society, but also illuminates how ancient legal practices still profoundly affect how the law is implemented today.

This book presents the legislation that formed the basis of Roman law - The Laws of the Twelve Tables. These laws, formally promulgated in 449 BC, consolidated earlier traditions and established enduring rights and duties of Roman citizens. The Tables were created in response to agitation by the plebeian class, who had previously been excluded from the higher benefits of the Republic. Despite previously being unwritten and exclusively interpreted by upper-class priests, the Tables became highly regarded and formed the basis of Roman law for a thousand years. This comprehensive sequence of definitions of private rights and procedures, although highly specific and diverse, provided a foundation for the enduring legal system of the Roman Empire.

The most important creation of the Romans was their law. In this book, Dr Tellegen-Couperus discusses the way in which the Roman jurists created and developed law and the way in which Roman law has come down to us. Special attention is given to questions such as `who were the jurists and their law schools' and to the close connection between jurists and the politics of their time.

Excerpt from The Roman Court: Or a Treatise on the Cardinals, Roman Congregations and Tribunals, Legates, Apostolic Vicars, Protonotaries, and Other Prelates of the Holy Roman Church IF a reason must be given for writing a book on the Roman Court and presenting it to English speaking people, it can be found in the fact that there is no other book printed in English on this most important subject. The points which may be gathered from encyclopedias are often vague and not unfrequently misleading. To place before the public a book, which, it is believed, is quite accurate and contemporary, has not been a light task. On a number of points special inquiry had to be made in Rome. It will be noticed that the practice in America on some of these points, particularly in regard to titles, diverges not a little from that accepted in Rome. The chapters on the Conclave or the College of Cardinals during a vacancy in the Apostolic See, on the Congregations of the Inquisition, the Index and the Propaganda, as well as those on Prelates and Legates may be of special interest to Americans. Regarding the American legation some information is given which heretofore may not have reached the general public. If, however, it is not new, the repe tition of it will do no harm. Throughout this treatise the word Protonotary is spelled without the h which is usually inserted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
