罗马法契约制度:历史话语的重述

罗马法契约制度不仅孕育了民法法系和普通法系的契约法传统,而且成为现代契约法的基础。解读罗马法契约制度史不应站在现代契约法的思想体系上,而应当在历史语境之中进行重述。罗马契约法的结构主要是一种形式、一个原则和数种(法定)契约,契约形式主义和契约类型法定为其契约观念的核心要素,合意并非所有契约的一般构成要素。

Contractual System in Roman Law: Restatement of History's Text

The contractual system of Roman law not only conceived the tradition of contract law in Civil Law and Common Law,but also formed the foundations of the modern contract law.The contractual system history of Roman law should not be commentated on and interpreted standing on the idea of the modern contract law,but on its history text.The major framework of the Roman contract law consisted of a form,a principle and numerous contractual types.That means that contractual formalism and numerus clausus of contractual types were the core of a contract in the Roman sense,and consensus was not a general element of all contracts.
