On October 31, 2003, the Law Faculty of the University of Graz and the Bavarian and Austrian Academies of Sciences commemorated the 50th anniversary of Leopold Wenger’s death. In the first half of the twentieth century, Wenger was one of the most outstanding scholars of Roman law and the history of ancient law, a discipline he created and advanced. The volume presents the biographical and thematic papers given at the memorial. Wenger’s last living student, Fritz Schwind, spoke about his personal memories, and Dieter Norr presented documents from the critical years of 1933 to 1935 during which Wenger was president of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences. Further subjects were Wenger’s view on Roman public and criminal law as well as ancient Near Eastern labour rights seen from a modern perspective.
