Recensión al libro del profesor Xesús Pérez López, Metodología en la investigación del derecho romano: el latín jurídico romano y su caracterización. Madrid, 2022
Este libro recoge las ponencias que tuvieron lugar en la sede de la RAJYL de España durante el curso 2015/2016, todas ellas unidas por el tema común, consistente en la descripción de la vida y obra ...de un jurista de gran relevancia que murió precisamente por su condición de tal. Se describen especialmente las circunstancias de la muerte de cada uno, por las que pueden ser considerados mártires por la justicia. El elenco de juristas estudiados es amplísimo, y arranca desde el s. VII a.C. con Licurgo, pasando por juristas romanos, medievales, de la ilustración, de la época moderna y, en mayor número, contemporáneos, españoles y extranjeros.La obra tiene especial interés tanto por la relevancia de los juristas estudiados, como por el hecho de que todos los autores son a la vez eminentes juristas, pertenecientes al mundo académico. Texto de la editorial
The author assumes that the organization of the family group is a priority topic for understanding the history of ownership. Dominus is mentioned in connection with domus, from which derives the ...concept of dominium (as power), which was transformed into the meaning of property at the end of the Republic. The domus is the main axis of the family community (familia) as a community of people organized under the authority of the paterfamilias and as a property community.
The original designation as heir in Roman Law was a fideicommissum, because the testator entrusted to the person chosen as heir the acceptance of the inheritance. The most ancient form of testamentum ...was the mancipatio familiae, which was performed in two solemn acts. One consisted in a simulated sale of the familia, whose aim was to declare formally and publicly how the pater familias wished the division of the patrimonium into legacies to be done, and the designation of the heir. The second act consisted in offering, after the death of the testator, the inheritance to the heir, whose only fiduciary duty was to accept it. After the decline of mancipatio familiae, the validity of the testamentum requires two essential elements: the designation of the heir, and his later acceptance.
This article is a study on the institutions of fiducia cum amico and fiducia cum creditore starting from their configuration in Roman Law. None of them is today admissible in the Spanish legal ...system.
