Desperately Seeking Donellus
Desperately Seeking Donellus

Summary/Abstract: review of: MARGREET AHSMANN en R. FEENSTRA, "Bibliografie van Hoogleraren in de Rechten aan de Leidse Universiteit tot 1811", Geschiedenis der Nederlandsche Rechtswetenschap VII, B.V. Noord-Hollandsche Uitgevers Maatschappij, Amsterdam/Oxford/New York 1984, pp.378. The present work is a bibliography of those jurists who taught at the University of Leiden between its foundation in 1575 and the French annexation of the Netherlands in 1811. During this period Leiden played host to some of the most important European jurists: Donellus, Noodt, Schultingh, Vinnius, Voet. It is therefore a matter of some interest for the legal historian to enquire how the joint authors, Margreet Ahsmann and Robert Feenstra, have approached the compilation of their bibliography, and the adequacy of the outcome.
