Grunddienstbarkeiten stellen ein wichtiges Instrument zur effektiven Nutzung der Ressource Grund und Boden dar. Dies gilt heutzutage nicht mehr nur für klassische Arten von Dienstbarkeiten wie Wegerechte, sondern auch für moderne Erscheinungsformen, etwa Dienstbarkeiten zur Absicherung von Wettbewerbsverboten. Die große praktische Bedeutung des Instituts spiegelt sich jedoch nicht in seiner bisherigen wissenschaftlichen Aufarbeitung wider. Ungeklärt ist insbesondere die grundsätzliche Frage, inwieweit die Beteiligten Grunddienstbarkeiten privatautonom ausgestalten können. Diese Frage beleuchtet Hendrike Diesselhorst umfassend. Im Fokus stehen dabei Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der privatautonomen Ausgestaltung von Grunddienstbarkeiten, die vor dem Hintergrund der dogmatischen Eigenheiten und der Historie des Instituts entfaltet werden. Darüber hinaus werden für einzelne, praktisch relevante Konstellationen Gestaltungsoptionen vorgeschlagen.

This volume contains contributions from three conferences held within the framework of the project "Law between Dialogue and Translation (The Example of Palestine)", funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The conferences were hosted by the project partners from the Department for Arabic and Islamic Studies of the University of Göttingen (Germany) and the Faculty of Law from Al-Quds University (Palestine) in 2019 and 2020, and the School of Graduate Studies of the State Islamic University Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta (Indonesia) in 2021. The project aimed to analyze how international law and human rights norms are implemented or "translated" into national legislation, with a special focus on the role of Islamic law and institutions in these processes.The volume provides a theoretical introduction on the concepts of "translation" of law and of "legal pluralism" and continues to discuss four main areas in which different practical aspects of these concepts can be observed: 1) the dealing of German and Palestinian judicial institutions with the relation between state, religion and rights of the individual, 2) achievements and challenges of women's rights implementation in Indonesia, 3) the entanglement of Sharia, Customary and State law in Palestine, and 4) recent developments in international criminal and humanitarian law in the Palestinian context.

In this study, Jonathan S. Milgram demonstrates that the transformation of inheritance law from the biblical to the tannaitic period is best explained against the backdrop of the legal and social contexts in which the tannaitic laws were formulated. Employing text and source critical methods, he argues that, in the absence of the hermeneutic underpinnings for tannaitic innovations, the laws were not the result of the rabbinic imagination and its penchant for inventive interpretation of Scripture. Turning to the rich repositories in biblical, ancient near eastern, Second Temple, Greek, Elephantine, Judean desert, and Roman sources, the author searches for conceptual parallels and antecedents as well as formulae and terminology adopted and adapted by the tannaim. Since the tannaitic traditions reflect the social and economic contexts of the tannaitic period - the nuclear family on privatized landholdings in urban centers - the author also considers the degree to which tannaitic inheritance laws may have emerged out of these contexts.

Accompanies the Birks and McLeod translation of "Justinian's Institutes". This book takes up all the principal subjects in the "Institutes" and gives a description of the law on each subject. Included is guidance on ancient and modern sources and the technical legal language used.

Introduction to the history of Roman law and its institutions.Throughout its history, Europe has been influenced by Roman culture, a culture with a strong sense of society and highly legal-minded. Hence, Roman law is of major importance in European thinking. It was the first subject to be taught at university and it remains tightly interwoven with all layers of European civilisation. This book provides an introduction to the history of Roman law and its institutions, as they developed from Antiquity until the nineteenth century. Concepts such as fundamental rights and freedoms, lawsuits, family law, rights in rem, and obligations have their origins in classical Antiquity and were developed further throughout European history. The historical processing of our Roman legal heritage is treated from the perspective of comparative legal history. The book is written for undergraduate law students, but is also relevant for scholars from other disciplines.
