Zeitschrift Vergleichende Rechtswissenschaft (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book presents a compilation of the legal proceedings and speeches of Isaeus, an Athenian orator of the fourth century BCE. Regarded as one of the ten canonical Attic orators, Isaeus was particularly renowned for his expertise in inheritance law, and this volume offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricacies of ancient Athenian legal practice. The author provides introductions to each oration, setting the legal context and explaining the charges and counter-charges involved in the cases. The speeches themselves showcase Isaeus' skill in legal argumentation and rhetoric, and offer valuable insights into the social and economic life of classical Athens. Through Isaeus' orations, we gain a deeper understanding of the significance of inheritance rights, family law, and the role of the courts in Athenian society.
