This framework was the product of both legal theory and legal practice. Centuries of Praetorian modification of the ancient ius civile , augmented by conceptual legal thought provided by the Roman jurists had produced a body of law which permitted commerce to flourish and to expand. Central to this body of law was the contract of letting and hiring, one of the four named \'consensual\' contracts in Roman law. Building on the pioneering work undertaken by Fiori (1999) on Roman conceptual thought about letting and hiring, this books fills an important gap in the current scholarly literature on this contract and its place in Roman commerce. 410 0$aMnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.$pSupplementum ;$vv. 340. 606 $aContracts (Roman law)$xHistory 606 $aProperty (Roman law)$xHistory 606 $aLetting of contracts 615 0$aContracts (Roman law)$xHistory. 615 0$aProperty (Roman law)$xHistory. 615 0$aLetting of contracts. 676 $a346.3702 676 $a346.37022 700 $aPlessis$b Paul J. du$0311802 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790387903321 996 $aLetting and hiring in Roman legal thought$92210708 997 $aUNINA
