Abstract / Description of output
This article is concerned with the history of the right to sublet in the context of the development of legal science in Western Europe. It investigates the origin of this right in Roman law and the problems surrounding it context. After establishing the historical foundations of the right to sublet, this article examines the way in which this legal rule was incorporated into the medieval ius commune – that body of learned law consisting of Roman law, canon law and customary law. The medieval rule on subletting is traced through the history of German legal science until the enactment of the German Civil Code in 1900. The aim of this article is to contribute to the history of the law of lease in Western Europe, a topic on which very little research has been done.
