Humanistische Jurisprudenz, Studien zur europaischen Rechtswissenschaft unter dem Einfluss des Humanismus.Hans Erich Troje, professor of law at Frankfurt, and author of the rightly famous book, Graeca leguntur (Cologne and Vienna, 1971), is at present probably the leading specialist in the field of Renaissance jurisprudence jurisprudence (j  r'ĭspr d`əns), study of the nature and the origin and development of law. . The present volume is a collection of seventeen articles, reviews, and longer papers, most of them previously unpublished. I am quite ignorant in the fields of law and legal history, and hence not really qualified to judge this book, but have agreed to review it for Renaissance Quarterly, most of whose readers are equally unfamiliar with the subject, and I hope that the book will be reviewed in greater detail in the journals that deal directly with the theory and history of law. The book is obviously a very important contribution to its subject, and the author's mastery of the original sources and their editions, and of the vast secondary literature from the fifteenth to the present century is most impressive. Troje is generous in recognizing the merits of many of his predecessors, especially of Domenico Maffei. Yet he does not hesitate to criticize the famous Savigny because he emphasizes the medieval contribution and almost entirely neglects the merits of the Renaissance jurists The following lists are of prominent jurists, including judges, listed in alphabetical order by jurisdiction.
