“Jany’s dense book is packed with highly interesting details. … The significance of this book is clear, nonetheless. Not many can write a book like this one, pulling together a daunting amount of information. Professor Jany’s ambitious and painstaking work offers readers essential reference materials and a much-needed foundation for linking a great diversity of legal traditions to one another. His book marks a timely and welcome occasion to promote a dialogue among jurists, historians, theologians, philosophers, anthropologists, and anyone else interested in the evolution of laws … .” (Marie Seong-Hak Kim, Rechtsgeschichte – Legal History Rg, Issue 30, 2022)
