Изследователи на българското обичайно право в края на ХIX и първата половина на ХХ в

Author(s): Temenuga Georgieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2014

The proposed article is an addition to developing more detailed work dedicated to the development of the Bulgarian ethnography since Liberation to World War II. The review of the studies in the field of Public customary law of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century gives an idea of their chronological development and thematic diversity. Largely research are solicited and facilitated by the systematic methodological guidelines contained in published “questionnaire-directions” for the collection and study of traditional legal customs , to follow European trends and experiences in this regard. To study a particular specified share of the popular social-normative culture are directed primarily specialists in legal education, Odzhakov P., V. Baldzhiev, St. S. Bobchev and others, whose work impresses with its scientific approach to withstand attempted systematization, interpretation and evaluation of the material covered. Along with them during the period relevant publications on Bulgarian common law traditions leave D. Marinov, K. Shapkarev, St. Shishkov and others. This paper examined the research and collecting individual contributions of these authors that enrich the scientific literature and help to expand the thematic scope of the Bulgarian ethnography in an essential and dynamic period of its development as a scientific discipline.

THE ALEVI / ALAWITE FACTOR IN TURKEY - SYRIA RELATIONS IN THE LIGHT OF THE SYRIAN CRISIS

Author(s): Mkrtich Karapetyan / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2018

The Syrian civil war exacerbated sectarian divisions between the Alawite-ruled Syrian government and Syria’s Sunni population, straining also the relations between the Sunni majority and Alawite and Alevi minorities of the neighboring Turkey. The Alawites and Alevis of Turkey were predominantly supporting Syria’s president Bashar al-Asad, while the Turkish government greatly supported the Sunni insurgents of Syria. The paper aims at examining how Alawites and Alevis have influenced the relations between Turkey and Syria in the light of the Syrian civil war, the reasons behind the sympathy of Alevis for the Syrian government and the implications that Turkey’s Syria policy has had domestically. It finds that the Alevi / Alawite factor has had some restraining effects on Turkey’s antagonistic policy towards Syria. In the introductory part, the article touches upon the differences and the similarities between Alevis and Alawites, then it analyzes the developments in regards Turkey’s policy towards the Syrian crisis that were also reflected in Ankara’s domestic policy vis-à-vis its Alevi and Alawite minorities.

РАЗМИСЛИ ОТНОСНО РИМСКОТО И СЪВРЕМЕННОТО СХВАЩАНЕ ЗА ДОГОВОРА

Author(s): Juan Manuel Blanch Nougués / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of the Roman legal terminology on contracts, origin of modern basic concepts such as contract, pactum, agreement, transaction (with mutual sacrifices by the parties), or unilateral promise etc., very abundant, from the legal theory’s point of view, in the Roman law. This ancient law is, nowadays, an indispensable tool referring the dialogue between the most widespread traditions in the world, i. e., the Roman-Germanic and the Common Law. In order to do that, even between national laws belonging to a common legal tradition, the analysis of the genesis and nature of the legal concepts in Roman law constitutes a fundamental task of legal interpretation. A review of the traditional theory of the sources of obligations in Roman law is also necessary. This paper, besides, affords the discussion of the recent reform of the French Civil Code concerning the sources of obligations (2016), as well as some of the different initiatives about the international unification of private law.

CONTRAHERE OBLIGATIONEM В КЛАСИЧЕСКОТО РИМСКО ПРАВО

Author(s): Adolfo Wegmann Stockebrand / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

This paper intends to demonstrate that it is a mistake to equate the Latin syntagm contrahere obligationem to the modern idea of concluding a contract, phenomenon that entails the formation of a false retrospective construction due to the anachronistic use of a modern dogmatic concept applied to the Roman legal experience. In classical Roman law, the phrase contrahere obligationem referred to the lawful and specific activity carried out by an agent in order to give rise to an obligation, meaning, regarding him, the causa obligationum.

EMPHYTEUSEOS CONTRACTUS

Author(s): Malina Novkirishka- Stoyanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The article presents the emphyteuseos contractus and the legal framework of emphyteusis in the Justinian Code (CJ 4.66. De emphyteutico iure) and in the Justinian Institutions (IJ. 3.24.3). It is the founding title of the emphyteusis as a result of a long evolution of this agrarian practice, but also the basis for the vitality of the emphyteusis in the Middle Ages and its application today.

КОНСЕНСУАЛНОСТТА НА РЕАЛНИЯ РИМСКИ MUTUUM. КОНТИНУИТЕТ И ДИСКОНТИНИУИТЕТ В УРЕДБАТА НА ДОГОВОРА ЗА ЗАЕМ ЗА ПОТРЕБЛЕНИЕ МЕЖДУ РИМСКОТО ПРАВО, ИТАЛИЯ И КИТАЙ

Author(s): Antonio Saccoccio / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

Roman jurists had always included the loan contract among the real contracts. This is the result of a progressive refinement process started with the ‘birth’of the loan within the category of the 're obligari'. Through a riper consideration developed among the jurists, the old 're obligari' has been included in a more recent notion of 'contrahere re', where the role of the consent is definitely more relevant. A tension between the elements of the consent and delivery has been kept within the view of Roman jurists on this contract: Roman jurists had, on the one hand, vigorously defended the view of the loan as a real contract, on the other hand, had elaborated dogmatic models of loan contracts for which the delivery (traditio) was not anymore necessary for the production of the (obligatory) effects of the loan contract.

РАЗМИСЛИ ВЪРХУ ПОНЯТИЕТО DAMNUM: DAMNUM И ВРЕДА, ИСТОРИЯТА НА ДВАМА „ФАЛШИВИ СРОДНИЦИ?

Author(s): Jean-François Gerkens / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The article raises the question of two legal terms - harm (dommage in French) and damnum (in Latin): whether they are so-called in linguistics "false cognates"? If we look at the dictionaries of two modern languages, in such way are called words that are very similar in appearance but different in meaning. The interpretation of the difference in word formation and meaning can sometimes be explained by differences in the evolution of the two words, which could have a common etymological origin. The peculiarity of the case considered here is obvious in the fact that one word originates from another and it is not a question of parallel development. The question also arises as to whether the evolution of the word has given it a new meaning different than that which it had in Latin. The purpose of this brief research is not a philological or an etymological study of the subject, but to examine whether every time the Roman jurists speak of damnum it necessarily corresponds to the concept of harm (dommage) in the French language.

НЯКОИ ДИАХРОНИЧНИ ОТРАЖЕНИЯ НА ДЕФИНИЦИЯТА ЗА ДОГОВОРНАТА ИЗМАМА В РИМСКОТО ПРАВО

Author(s): Emmanuelle Chevreaux / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The French reform of contract law, and in particular the publication of the Ordinance of 10 February 2016 on the reform of contract law, offers an opportunity to make some remarks on the subject of the Roman definitions of dolus malus. In fact, the new Article 1137 of the French Civil Code introduces for the first time the definition of fraud. This is a novelty in the legislation, as the drafters of the Civil Code of 1804 (Napoleon's Code) did not propose any definition of fraud, although Pottier in his "The Doctrine of Bonds" adopted the famous definition of dolus malus by the Roman jurist Labeon. It was formed in the legal doctrine and case law of the XIX century, and for this purpose the Roman legal sources are analyzed.

SCIENTIFIC CONSUBSTANCIAL VALUES TO THE LEGAL DOGMATIC AND THE THEORY OF LEGAL BUSINESS

Author(s): Juan M. Alburquerque / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

With a critical and renovating spirit, the author is firmly convinced of the value of the theory of the legal business, both for its usefulness to form the mind of the new jurists, as well as that of the romanist as the mercantilist and the civilist. The study focuses on an analysis and a critical review of the doctrinal generalities and the specific points of our romanistic science, including some reflections on the new doctrinal currents that allow us to extract the most outstanding scientific profiles of the so-called legal business. We will make a brief commentary on the I. General presuppositions. II. Concept of Legal Business. III. Brief reference to the essential elements. IV. Utility, justifications, and recognition of the scientific values inherent to legal dogmatics and the Theory of the Legal Business. V. Doctrinal postulates on the legal business. VI. Nuances and conclusive convergences. Historical-critical method. Historical-dogmatic method. From the dogma of the autonomy of the will, to the dogma of Betti's prescriptive declaration.

DATIO IN SOLUTUM NECESSARIA В РИМСКОТО ПРАВО. РАЗВИТИЕ И НАСТОЯЩЕ – СРАВНИЕЛЕН АНАЛИЗ

Author(s): Verónica Daniela Díaz Sazo / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

This research aims to analyze the figure of the datio in solutum necessaria from its origins to the present. All this, from the terminological and practical origin of the datio in solutum, but focusing specifically on the datio in solutum necessaria. The legal figure of datio in solutum necessaria finds its origin, according to the majority doctrine, after Justinian, so it is intended to systematize its evolution until today. In modern times, the datio in solutum necessaria is not estipulated in most legal systems, with voluntary payment being the option regulated by most of the current Civil Codes. However, it is intended to demonstrate that there are legal systems that remain faithful to Justinian Roman law when it comes to providing the datio in solutum necessaria in an express manner in their legal systems.

THE PROTECTION OF THE UNDERWATER CULTURAL HERITAGE IN EUROPEAN MARE NOSTRUM

Author(s): Vlad Vieriu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Beneath the surface of our seas there is another world and an entire page of European history. Despite natural factors, the sea might be one of the best and safest environments for both natural and cultural heritage. New advanced technologies allow us to discover and salvage these ancient treasures in a relatively new suite of efforts. This year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage, adopted during the UNESCO's General Conference in 2001, a moment for millennia of our common memory, but also, a remarkable example of common effort in international law.

HISTORICAL AND CURRENT PREVALENCE OF THE ROMAN JURISPRUDENTIAL PRINCIPLE „TABULA PICTURAE CEDERE“

Author(s): Juan M. Alburquerque / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

In this study, we make and analyse a set of assessments and observations that seem to us more assumable, from historical and jurisprudential precedents, with the purpose of confirming the prevalent character of the principle of the proculeyan jurisprudence on the tabula picta, and its constant application until today, as can be seen in the current Spanish Civil Code. To this end, we will address: I. Introductory Summary: Accession in the Spanish Civil Code and preceding Roman jurisprudential problematic. II.Accessio as the most assumable framing and the possible differentiating profiles with specificatio. III. Possible indications related to the preceding beliefs, customs and traditions that may have motivated the change in the assignment of ownership to the painter. IV. Summary reference to some doctrinal comments on the alterations of the text of ІG 2.78, without abrupt changes in substance. V. Specific observations and analysis of the text of Gaius 2. 78: „Tabula picturae cedere“.

ARBITRAL SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES IN PROVINCES IN SHADOW OF THE ROMAN PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION

Author(s): Ivan Milotić,Ivana Jaramaz Reskušić / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

There are many records throughout the Empire from the imperial provinces dating to 1st and 2nd century AD that mention dispute settlements between tribal communities in which the Roman provincial administration had significant role. The intention of the Romans to intervene to such disputes was not so much motivated by the need to ordain how the dispute should be settled, but to ensure all the prerequisites that the dispute was ended quickly and efficiently. Romans intervened to all disputes that they perceived as potential dangers to their smooth administration of the province. The more dangerous the dispute was the higher provincial official was concerned with its settlement. Such approach to dispute settlements resulted with a high degree of standardisation of such procedures throughout the Empire which can be qualified as some kind of administrative arbitrations. Moreover, such approach reflected a consistent policy to disputes in those provinces where stabilisation of Roman government was still going on, or where tribal communities did still not fully adapt to the new Roman administrative system and territorial divisions. In their attempts to bring such disputes to an end, the Roman provincial magistrates used certain powers which were typical for their criminal jurisdiction, especially in initiating the dispute settlement and the enforcement of the award.

SERVUS VILICUS AS INSTITOR

Author(s): Mirjana Miškić / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

Servus vilicus was slave placed at the head of a Roman villa rustica. The main sources in which we learn about the content of the duties and the powers of the vilicus are provided by Columella, De re rustica, I.8, XI.1, and XII.1, Varro, De re rustica, I. and the Cato, De agri cultura, CXLII–CXLIII. Having in mind that legal framework of his occupation is pretty unknown, it is justified to ask a question: was he (or maybe she) the institor? In the Digest, we find only the incidental remark that anyone appointed to cultivate the land may be considered as an institor (D.14.3.5.2). In addition, the institor was primarily engaged in trade, while the vilicus performed a wide range of the work. Beside that fact, vilicus was not exclusively engaged in agriculture, but also in some state services, which makes this notion even more complex and contradictory. However, the main question remains to be answered, whether the servus vilicus was a person who also legally obliged his master or his job was reduced to the actual management of the property?

IL CULTO DI AUGUSTO- QUIRINUS NELLE PROVINCE

Author(s): Sara Lucrezzi / Language(s): Italian Issue: 2/2022

After the military victory and the conquest of the whole Empire, Augustus renforced his power through a large religious programm, to show that not only men, but also the gods were now in peace and all together engaged to ensure the glory of Rome. He presented himself as the new conditor, after Romulus, and had the idea to call himself Romulus or Quirinus (the divine transfiguration of the first king). An official cult of the emperor did not rise, for political caution, and in the several provinces, the consideration of the princeps took different forms. In some of the Eastern provinces people were allowed to look at him as a god, but generally, he had a different role: he was more powerful than a simple god.

Ethics and Solidarity as Hope in the Philosophy of Józef Tischner

Author(s): Pavol Dancák / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2022

In this paper, the concept of solidarity will be introduced as voluntary cohesion, mutual help and support not only within a loose group, but, above all, within the whole human race. Tischner wants to help contemporary man because he is aware that contemporary man has entered a period of profound crisis of his hope. The reflection on solidarity and hope in the philosophy of Tischner represents a neuralgic point which has its justification in Christian thought. Hope is the prospect of something better which, together with mutual support, removes both fear and isolation, and brings about the development of both the individual and the community. The deepest solidarity is solidarity of conscience. The community of solidarity differs from many other communities precisely because it is “for him” that is fundamental. It is only on this foundation that the community of “we” grows.

Goodwill, Morality and Legislation in Restitution & Provenance Politics; a Reflection on Customary Laws and Property Ownership in Africa

Author(s): Winani Thebele / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

Calls for restitution and provenance research over colonial objects have embraced museums globally. The two theoretical undertakings complement one another. Governments, heritage institutions and individuals are reviewing the provenance of their colonial collections and returning them to descendant communities. Widely publicised return undertakings and ceremonies attest to this. Scholars and curators have revolutionised their thinking, approaches and writings with an intent to decolonize narratives associated with the colonial holdings. Conversations through seminars, conferences, workshops and political statements complement the efforts. However, the returns are usually presented as voluntary gestures, driven by morality, redress, equality, correction of colonial wrongs and calls for human rights. This article argues that there are also legal obligations as evidenced by developments in Europe and America today. The article methodologically interrogates three intertwined subjects: 1. the current state of affairs with Africa’s colonial heritage; 2. the customary laws on collective ownership of heritage by communities as a contributory catalyst to the migration of heritage; and 3. an ignored factor in the quest for repatriations and the development of national legal structures by states that hold colonial objects. The argument is that these should be balanced; the returns are not only based on morality and goodwill by hosting states, but are also enforced by legal obligations. The paper further argues that all stakeholders should be taken on board in provenance and restitutions, particularly the descendant communities, their wishes and customs. These present as part of ‘best museum practise’ and the decolonization narrative.
