Summary/Abstract: It was not until recently that the presence of Roman law in the history of English law started to gain popularity among scientists. Previous research had focused on historical issues and periods disconnected from one another. The eighteenth century had remained the most conspicuous research gap. The author of the publication conducted a discerning analysis of Roman law. He presented the history of the Regius Professorship of Civil (i.e. Roman) Law chairs in Oxford and Cambridge, as well as the attempts to teach the ancient legal code by civilists – civil law specialists – who were not associated with the university faculty. He also discussed the extant lecture materials. The author scrutinized the university legislation related to the conferral of bachelor’s and doctor’s degrees in jurisprudence at the two English universities, and also focused on the social impact of civilists. He also devoted a lot of space to the eighteenth-century English literature on Roman law. Lektura książki pozwoli spojrzeć na cywilistów jak na ważny człon intelektualnej elity Anglii. The book helps the reader recognize civilists as an important constituent of the intellectual elite of England.
