This journal publishes original monographs, notes and discussions, critical reviews, bibliographical material and news items. In devoting their full care to this material, and in maintaining as a historical memory the reference to the "Institute", the editor and his staff fulfil the wishes of Vittorio Scialoja, its founder, by ensuring that the "Bullettino" shall continue to hold a unique position in the active promotion of studies on Roman Law in Italy and abroad. Glorious in its antiquity, this publication contains articles by well-known scholars of Roman and ancient law and by historians interested in problems of law of ancient days.
