Esta obra fundamental de Henry Sumner Maine explora las bases legales que dieron forma a las civilizaciones antiguas, estableciendo un puente entre los sistemas jurídicos del pasado y la sociedad moderna. Publicada originalmente en el siglo XIX y ahora recuperada por Alpha Edition, sigue siendo una pieza clave para entender el desarrollo humano a través del derecho y la jurisprudencia. El libro analiza cómo las instituciones legales primitivas evolucionaron desde conceptos de estatus hacia el contrato, ofreciendo una visión profunda para historiadores, académicos del derecho y lectores interesados en la evolución de las estructuras sociales tempranas.
Sir Henry James Sumner Maine,, was a British Whig comparative jurist and historian. He is famous for the thesis outlined in his book Ancient Law that law and society developed "from status to contract." According to the thesis, in the ancient world individuals were tightly bound by status dealing with(in) a particular group while in the modern one, in which individuals are viewed as autonomous agents, they are free to make contracts and form associations with whomever they choose. Because of this thesis, Maine can be seen as one of the forefathers of modern legal anthropology, legal history and sociology of law.
