Dumont (Paris) on the evolution of the concept of obligation. Regarding the relationship between public action and proof of ownership, and a work recently devoted to this subject by Mr. Sturm, Mr. Feenstra (Leiden) has undertaken scholarly research with Romance scholars of the Middle Ages. Mr. J. Gaudemet (Paris) presents the emergence and evolution of perseverantia voluntatis in matters of donation in the 3rd century AD, while Mr. Lévy-Bruhl devotes pertinent remarks to noxal abandonment.\" The jurisdiction of the curule aediles is the subject of an important article by Mr. Kaser, in which the eminent Hamburg Roman law scholar compares the powers of the praetors and the aediles, noting in particular the inferiority of the aedilician functions, which lacked imperium. The problem of error as a vitiating factor of consent, which has been the subject of various works in recent years, is taken up again by Messrs. Mayer-Maly (Cologne) and Wieacker (Göttingen), while F. de Visscher studies the Law of the Twelve Tables and the protection of tombs. [We will add the contributions of R. Dekkers, Roman Law and the New States; F. Dumont, Obligatio; H. Peter, Mommsen versus Hofmann; G. Lepointe, A Curious Adjudication at the End of the Ancien Régime in Maine.] We should also mention in the second volume an original and very comprehensive work by Mr. V. Georgesco (Bucharest) on the role of the Romano-Byzantine theory of custom in the development of Romanian feudal law, followed by a presentation by Mr. G. Kisch (Basel) who, continuing his research on the Basel academic milieu of the 16th century, here studies Melanchthon's relations with the jurists of his time. Readers will also find of interest the pages that Mr. J.-P. Lévy (Paris) devotes to sales in the Bible, as well as those of Mr. Petot (Paris) on the hereditary nature of servitude.
