About This Item
The second edition, revised by the author, of his 'exhaustive commentary on Justinian's Digest, the principal work of the Dutch professor of law Johannes Voet (1647-1713). This influential work was first published 1698-1704 and translated into Italian, Dutch and English... "Voet ... differs from most of the other Dutch commentators on the Pandecta in his thorough an masterly exposition of the Roman-Dutch law as it obtained in his day. He was not satisfied with a mere academic treatise on the civil law, but he showed how that law should be applied to the affairs of everyday life, and how it was actually practiced in the courts of Holland and the adjoining provinces. Into his treatise on the Roman law he wove the legislation of the United Provinces which had altered or modified the civil law, the decisions of the courts which had interpreted the law, and the disputes on controverted points of law which had been ventilated in the courts or in the works of Dutch and other jurists. Voet's Commentary on the Pandects is therefore just as much a treatise on the law of Holland as the Introduction of Grotius or the Roman-Dutch Law of Van Leeuwen" (Wessels)...' (Antiquariaat Forum).
