New month, new academic year, and new article! My latests article has just been published in the Studia Prawnicze KUL [Wydział Prawa, Prawa Kanonicznego i Administracji Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego (WPPKiA KUL)]. An article is part of the issue published to honour the scholarly and organizational activity of Prof. Antonii Dębiński - Roman law and canon law specialists, former Rector of the Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II. As to my article, 'The principles of property law according to William Blackstone - preliminary observations', this is a presentation of some of my initial thoughts regarding the eighteenth century English understanding of property law. I'm starting by reconstructing Blackstone's perception of the English property law. https://lnkd.in/dDxEhnJF #English #law #18th #century #Blackstone
