Edwarda Szymoszka rozważania na łamach „Z Dziejów Prawa”
Edward Szymoszek’s Reflections in “Z Dziejów Prawa” (“From the History of the Law”)

Summary/Abstract: The following article aims at presenting part of the academic achievements of Edward Szymoszek, a prominent and respected professor of the Roman law, a long‑standing chair of the Department of the Roman Law at the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Silesia, and a chair of the Department of the Roman Law at the Institute of the History of the State and the Law at the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Wrocław. The article briefly presents the academic achievements of the professor as well as the origins of the journal “Z Dziejów Prawa” (“From the History of the Law”), published by the Department of the History of the Law at the University of Silesia. The majority of the article is devoted to the analysis of Edward Szymoszek’s essays published in “From the History of the Law”. His publications in the journal were concerned first and foremost with the research topic of “The History of the Roman Law in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era,” which he pursued at the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Silesia. These essays, focused predominantly on the tradition and progress in the activity of glossarists, as well as the theories of Fryderyk Zoll (senior), Stanisław Wróblewski or Michał Staszków, prove that Edward Szymoszek was an excellent expert not only on the classical Roman law, but also its history in the later periods.
