Legal Scholarship and Doctrines of Private Law, 13th18th centuries

'Robert Feenstra has provided his colleagues with a valuable resource by collecting his several occasional essays into a single accessible volume. Together they confirm the considerable importan[ce] of the Low Countries and particularly Leiden in the reception, transmission and development of the civil law in Europe, and Professor Feenstras own position as the leading historiographer and prosopographist of his learned predecessors in Holland and Northern Europe.' The American Journal of Legal History, Vol. XLII, No. 1
