Abstract

The interwar period (1918—1939) was an intensive stage in the development of Polish universities. The resumption of the operation of Polish universities began with Poland’s regaining of political independence. Unfortunately, law students at the University of Warsaw initially had no proper Roman law textbook. For this reason, the lecture scripts (Pl. skrypt) and revision textbooks (Pl. repetytorium) that were being created as early as the 1920s played an important role in the process of teaching Roman law. Particularly noteworthy is an anonymous Roman law revision textbook published in Warsaw in 1924 and 1925, signed only with the initials J.L. The identity of its author has never been established, and for some time this was the only textbook available for law students in Warsaw. Admittedly, revision textbooks were a poor substitute for proper textbooks; however, due to prolonged lack of a Roman law textbook, the question arises as to their actual role in the interwar period.
