Edoardo Volterra (1924 - 1984) was one of the most eminent Roman law scholars of the 20th century. Over the course of his lifetime he assembled a remarkable library not only of the modern secondary literature on the subject but also a singular collection of early printed books. The present catalogue provides access to the collection by offering a full description, based on inspection of the individual books, of the entire fondo antico of the library. The particular strength of the library reflects the humanistic historical and philological interests of Volterra himself, but it includes the whole range of Roman law literature, from incunable and 16th century editions of the Medieval Commentators through to 19th century editions of classical Roman law which were an abiding interest of Volterra and are particularly well represented in his library. The catalogue is enlivened by a fascinating series of personal studies by his friends and pupils.
