Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Digest of Justinian, Vol. 1 This Volume is an instalment of a Translation of the Digest of Justinian, and, if circumstances are favourable, I hope it may be finished in the course of a few years, either by the present writer or by another. A few words have to be said as to the general design and method of the work. Something is always gained and something lost by the use of a translation. The gain is the obvious saving of time and trouble for those whose knowledge of the original language is imperfect, indeed even for others; the loss is that of the tone and spirit of the original. This at least and at the best; but there is also the possibility of the translation being incorrect, while all clue to the true meaning is effaced. A translator must hope to obviate these dangers as best he may by taking care; but there is one source of embarrassment which requires to be treated with special tact and judgment, I mean the occurrence of technical expressions. How are these to be rendered? There are several ways of dealing with them. First, they can be left untranslated and simply given in the original; and, if one universal method is to be followed throughout, I believe this to be the best. Secondly, the Latin expression can be translated by the name of the nearest corresponding institution in English law, and this plan, on the same supposition, I believe to be the worst.
