Blog Inception / New Acquisitions at Yale

The idea for this blog arose out of an ad hoc meeting at the 2005 AALL Annual Meeting in San Antonio for collectors of foreign law in US academic institutions. It was thought that it might be beneficial to post new major acquisitions and information on newly published journals. It was thought that this information might not be of interest to all the subscribers of Int-Law. This information is more appropriate to selectors of materials to be added to library collections.

At the meeting I shared two titles Yale has recently acquired:

1. Verfassungen der Welt vom spaten 18. Jahrhundert bis Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts: Quellen zur Herausbildung des modernen Konstitutionalismus=Constitutions of the World from the Late 18th Century to the Middle of the 19th Century: Sources on the Rise of Modern Constitutionalism. Edited by Horst Dippel. Munich: Saur, 2005. This will be an expensive set, so proceed cautiously.
The first volume, Constitutional Documents of the United Kingdom 1782-1835, is 149 Euros. The set can be obtained from Harrassowitz.

2. Biblioteca digitale romanistica: archivo elettronico delle letteratura romanistica/ direzione scientifica di Nicola Palazzolo, Catania, G. Mimone, 2004-. v. 1 Trattati e manuali di diritto pubblico e storia del diritto, 1839-1920. Price is 850 Euros. It is available from Casalini. (Note that attached to it is a BD-Rom (25GB).

The Yale Law Library's first major acquisition of the new school year is Parliament Rolls of Medieval England, Rochester, NY: Boydell, 2005, covering the Parliamentary rolls from Edward I to Henry VII (1272-1509). The set consists of 17 volumes, 10,000 pages and 8 million words. (How do they know?) (ISBN 1843831619) The price is $2, 295. We purchased it from Yankee Book Press.
