Abstract

This publication of a dissertation from Hannover is a truely significant book—externally (almost three and a half pounds heavy, with 1114 pages of pure text, a 62 page bibliography, and a 56 page appendix with 4963 footnotes), but also because of its contents, with remarkably little redundancy. No one who is concerned with the development of marriage and family law should be able to pass by this work in the future. But this book also offers a treasure for those who are interested in the development of marriage and family from a social-scientific viewpoint and/or in the context of the history of women’s equality. A well-structured outline and index provide an overview of its contents for those who do not have the time to read the entire book.
