ROMAN LAW AND MEDIEVAL SERBIA'S LAW ACCORDING TO STOJAN NOVAKOVIĆ

Summary/Abstract: About the fact that the entirety of the historic life of both the medieval and modern Serbia has passed in the classic home of Roman law, according to Stojan Novaković, not much care was taken in our literature of the time. The Roman law itself was being taught according to foreign authors' bibliography (for example, the textbook on the Digest by L. Aris Riter of Arnesberg and his organizers L. Pfaf and F. Hofman translated by Dragiša Mijušković, then a professor at the Belgrade Higher School). At that time, Stojan Jovanović brings attention to the direct influence of the Roman law on the law of medieval Serbia and its incorporation into Serbian sources of law. By giving a look at the influence of Justinian's Code on Serbian law and its modifications, accepted through Byzantine law, Novaković gives a short, but comprehensive image of the roots of the medieval Serbian state's law.
