Resumen de A Glimpse Into Roman Law by Kandinsky
The biography or memory book of Kandinsky written by his wife Nina refers to the years in which the great painter devoted himself to teaching Roman law, and highlights certain aspects of the subject that particularly appealed to him. She refers to the logical precision and modes of argumentation in which the Roman jurists—according to the artist—would have excelled. The authors have examined the type of Roman law that was taught in Czarist Russia, the milieu in which he lived and the sources from which it was derived. It seems that the influence of German Pandectistics was decisive, particularly at the end of the 19th century. Several Russian scholars were trained in Germany, and not only in Roman law, so the influence of Pandectistics was greater than previously thought. This work of research into the context in which the painter moved during his years as a jurist enables the authors to explain what he understood by the logical precision and ways of legal argumentation in the case of the Roman jurists.
