Mr. Sorin Vernea's work is a premiere in our academic space, born from the author's desire to make the History of Romanian law known abroad, in the most spoken language today. The high degree of difficulty of this theoretical approach, is determined both by significant differences in the lexicon and terminology of the legal alphabet, and by the impossibility of translating some terms from the old Romanian legal language. Despite these facts, the author, with remarkable effort and a commendable perseverance, managed to develop a current and accessible work even to non-specialists. I highly recommend this university course as a benchmark for our legal literature and I am convinced that, for its author, it is only the first step on the challenging but rewarding road to an exceptional and successful university career. - Professor Aurel Jean Andrei, Faculty of Law - University of Bucharest
