Principles of Roman Law by Fritz Schulz

The item is the title page of an academic book titled "Principles of Roman Law." The page itself is composed of cream-colored, aged paper, exhibiting the typical patina that suggests a vintage publication. The text, including the title, author's name, translator's details, and publisher information, is printed in a clear, dark black serif font. Prominently displayed is the main title, "PRINCIPLES OF ROMAN LAW," followed by the author, "FRITZ SCHULZ, Emeritus Professor of Roman Law University of Berlin." The page also identifies Marguerite Wolff, M.A. (Cantab.), as the translator who revised and enlarged the text. The publisher, "OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS," is stated at the bottom, indicating a prestigious academic origin. In terms of condition, fitting the 'Good condition' assessment provided, the paper shows uniform aging and appears free from significant foxing or large tears. However, a small, distinct dark brown/black mark, possibly an ink blot or abrasion, is visible on the left side of the page, roughly centered vertically. There are also subtle signs of handling and slight creasing along the inner binding edge. The print quality is consistently sharp, demonstrating the high manufacturing standards of the Clarendon Press. This specific edition is known to have been first published in English in 1936, placing its estimated age in the mid-20th century. The scholarly nature and reputable publisher suggest a well-produced and historically valuable academic text.
