Features: This book is currently the most mainstream and best-selling textbook for the course of Foreign Legal History in domestic law schools. Published for many years, it has been reprinted multiple times and revised several times, becoming increasingly perfect. The course of Foreign Legal History, edited by Professor He Qinhua, has been recognized as a top-quality course by the Ministry of Education for law majors. This book serves as its premium textbook, deeply favored by readers for its solid and innovative style. Building on the strengths of previous unified textbooks in this discipline domestically, this book aims to overcome the shortcomings of older textbooks, such as their cross-cutting and overly extensive content. Drawing on the decade-long teaching experience of the contributing authors, it adopts a completely new structure—ancient and medieval law organized by legal systems, and modern law organized by countries—ranging from the Code of Hammurabi to the European Union law. The system is clear and well-organized. The new edition presented to readers incorporates recent research findings in this discipline, making the content richer. In terms of presentation, it boldly breaks new ground by adding illustrations based on the characteristics of legal history studies. These illustrations not only broaden students' horizons but also enhance teaching effectiveness, making the book more visual and enjoyable to read.
