Tony Honoré is Emeritus Professor at Oxford University. He was Regius Professor of Civil Law at Oxford from 1971-88. He has been described as 'the main architect of the modern South African law of trusts' (by Maruis de Waal), and is also a leading legal philosopher and historian.
This is a thoroughly revised edition of the only full-scale work about possibly the most influential lawyer of all time, the Syrian Ulpian. Ulpian wrote a massive survey of Roman law in 213-17 AD and Tony Honoré argues that his philosophy of freedom and equality make him a pioneer of human rights.
