Superficies solo cedit in the Roman province of Egypt
This research critically examines the assumed universality of the Roman legal rule superficies solo cedit by examining its application – or lack thereof – in Roman Egypt. Drawing on papyrological evidence, we argue that local traditions permitted the separate ownership of land and buildings, encompassing divided ownership within a single structure. These practices persisted after the Roman annexation and were recognised by Roman authorities. Thus…
From Roman Marriage to Unmarried Unions
This study examines the historical and comparative evolution of family law, tracing the transition from Roman marriage to contemporary partnerships. The article explores how Roman law conceptualised marriage as a social institution based on affectio maritalis, detailing its transformation through Christian doctrine into an indissoluble sacrament and its subsequent adaptation within modern legal systems. By analysing legal frameworks in Germany, I…

Until recently, no one knew that a basement in Brazil sheltered the first complete translation of the Digest of Justinian into Portuguese, crafted from 1896 to 1915 by Conselheiro Vasconcellos, a remarkable and previously unknown Brazilian judge and jurist.

The evolution of de facto relationships in Brazil
This work analyses the modernization of family law over the past few decades, using the social and legal transformations of marriage and informal relationships as its starting point.

The research examines the…

Costa-Neto re-examines conventional perspectives concerning possession, including those proposed by Savigny, Jhering and Riccobono. It also examines the notion of possessio naturalis as proposed by D’Angelo and Klinck in recently published works. Costa-Neto unders…
