The History of Egyptian Law in Ptolemaic Egypt

It is a very good introduction, for Egyptians and Arab students, to the history of Egyptian law in Ptolemaic Egypt. In 323 pages, Prof. Ahmed Ibrahim Hasan of Alexandria University gives not only a concise history of the law in Ptolemaic Egypt (pp. 5-99), but a brief history of the evolution of the Roman law. It is a must read for every student of papyrology in Egypt. Congratulations for this effort, Prof. Ahmed.
