Books
These books cover many periods: Rome, the middle ages, early modern europe, the eighteenth century. Both current and emeritus staff are active. We take particular pleasure in the recent appearance of Dr Godfrey's history of the founding of the Court of Session; Prof Gordon's essays; Prof Robinson's history of penal policy in Rome; and the catalogue of Lord Rodger's Roman law library.
The catalogue below is chronological.
