To better appreciate present-day private international law and its future prospects and challenges, we should consider the history and historiography of the field. This book offers an original approach to the study of conflict of laws and legal history that exposes doctrinal lawyers to historical context, and legal historians to the intricacies of legal doctrine. The analysis is based on an in-depth examination of Medieval and Early Modern conflict of laws, focusing on the classic texts of Bartolus and Huber. Combining theoretical insights, textual analysis and historical perspectives, the author presents the preclassical conflict of laws as a rich world of doctrines and policies, theory and practice, context and continuity. This book challenges preconceptions and serves as an advanced introduction which illustrates the relevance of history in commanding private international law, while aspiring to make private international law relevant for history.

'Is this a work of private international law, or of its history, or of its historiography? Is this a text on the theory of private international law, or on its methods, or indeed its doctrines and their genealogies? It is all of these things and more. Hatzimihail, relying on both stupendous learnedness and high originality, provides us with a true tour de force that takes us in unexpected directions and leaves us with deep appreciation for the author, his book, and its subject.' Ralf Michaels, Director, Max Planck Institute for Comparative Law and Private International Law, Hamburg
