Abstract

The law - both as a profession and as an academic discipline - is traditionally a late adopter of new ideas and intellectual paradigms. The same goes for legal history: Legal humanism started with Andrea Alciato almost two hundred years after Petrarca climbed Mount Ventoux. Textual criticism as developed by 19th century philologists became fashionable amongst historians of Roman law in the 1920s.
