Abstracts

PL

Romanistyka angielskojęzyczna doczekała się licznych przekładów źródeł prawa, w tym wielu tłumaczeń źródeł justyniańskich. Instytucje Justyniana w samym XIX i XX w. doczekały się dziewięciu przekładów. Najstarsze angielskie tłumaczenie tego dzieła opublikowane zostało jednak już w roku 1756. Jego autorem był angielski cywilista, sędzia kościelny oraz kanclerz wielu anglikańskich diecezji George Harris. Przekład, który był wielokrotnie wznawiany, obejmował bardzo wartościowe komentarze i uwagi tłumacza dotyczące podobieństw i różnic prawa angielskiego i rzymskiego. Współczesnego czytelnika zaskakuje również bogactwo wykorzystanej przez G. Harrisa literatury przedmiotu. Warto odnotować także, że tłumaczenie G. Harrisa spotkało się z przychylnymi reakcjami recenzentów pracy zarówno w Anglii, jak i na kontynencie.

The scholarship on Roman law in English has accumulated a great number of the translations of the legal sources, including the Justinianic sources. Justinian’s Institutions were translated nine times in the 19th and 20th centuries alone. Te earliest English translation of this opus was published in 1756. Te translator was George Harris, an English civil lawyer, ecclesiastical judge and chancellor of several Church of England dioceses. Harris’ translation, which went through several editions and re-issues, also contained the translator’s invaluable commentaries and notes on the similarities and differences between English and Roman law. Te modern reader may be surprised by the abundant bibliography Harris cites. Harris’s translation received good English and Continental reviews.
