Anonimowe międzywojenne repetytorium do nauki prawa rzymskiego
Roman Law; University of Warsaw; revision textbook; Roman law textbooks

Summary/Abstract: The interwar period (1918—1939) was an intensive stage in the development of Polishuniversities. The resumption of the operation of Polish universities began with Poland’s regainingof political independence. Unfortunately, law students at the University of Warsaw initially hadno proper Roman law textbook. For this reason, the lecture scripts (Pl. skrypt) and revision textbooks(Pl. repetytorium) that were being created as early as the 1920s played an important rolein the process of teaching Roman law. Particularly noteworthy is an anonymous Roman law revisiontextbook published in Warsaw in 1924 and 1925, signed only with the initials J.L. The identityof its author has never been established, and for some time this was the only textbook availablefor law students in Warsaw. Admittedly, revision textbooks were a poor substitute for propertextbooks; however, due to prolonged lack of a Roman law textbook, the question arises as totheir actual role in the interwar period.
