Max Planck Encyclopaedia of European Private Law Published
Max Planck Encyclopaedia of European Private Law re-affirms that the emergence of European private law is one of the most significant developments in present-day law.
I just received the impressive new Max Planck Encyclopedia of European Private Law. This two volume-work containing more than 2000 pages is the joint effort of a large group of authors all associated (or once associated) with the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg. It offers concise and highly informative entries on 500 topics in the field, setting the current debate in its historical and comparative context and providing an invaluable companion to present-day scholarship in European private law. This book re-affirms that the emergence of European private law is one of the most significant developments in present-day law. The book is published by Oxford University Press and was edited by Jürgen Basedow, Klaus Hopt, Reinhard Zimmermann and Andreas Stier.
