This study presents Roman legal sources from the perspective of the broad concept of estate planning. The focus is on the presentation of those instruments for the voluntary transfer of assets in the event of death that are not wills or codicils. Contrary to popular belief, Roman law was not fundamentally opposed to the transfer of property mortis causa using contractual remedies. A look from the perspective of contemporary legal problems makes it possible to see the scope within which the Romans carried out such intergenerational transfers of wealth. The extent of this already ancient phenomenon and the diversity of dogmatic questions offers a notable starting point for discussions about the strength of today’s inheritance law dogmas.

Fürsorge, Therapie und unethische Forschung 1927–1954
Die Landeskinderheilstätte Mammolshöhe in Mammolshain/Taunus war von 1927 bis 1947 ein Sanatorium, in dem an Tuberkulose erkrankte Kinder und Jugendliche behandelt wurden. Ab 1947 nahm die Einrichtung einen klinischen Charakter an und wurde zu einer Stätte der TBC-Forschung. Dieser Umschwung war das Werk des neuen Direktors Werner Catel, der vor 1945 in zentraler Funktion an der NS-Kinder-„Euthanasie“ mitgewirkt hatte. Er begann auf der Mammolshöhe mit einer Versuchsreihe zur Erprobung eines neu entwickelten Präparats gegen TBC. Die Vorgänge rund um die Versuchsreihe wurden im Zusammenhang mit einer von Verleugnung und Verharmlosung der Fakten geprägten Neuerfindung der Biographie Catels umgedeutet. Die Studie zeigt exemplarisch, wie sich die ausbleibende kritische Auseinandersetzung der Medizin mit der eigenen Rolle im NS-Staat nach 1945 auswirken konnte.

Production, Ecology, and Institutions (1830s-1910s)
Author:
Economic historians have often examined the effects of the integration of the Ottoman Empire into the world markets with macro-level approaches. This book aims to scrutinize the effects of this transition to a capitalist economy through a micro-level approach instead, using micro-level data and microeconomics. It examines the structure of agricultural production and commerce by analyzing major crops and commercial institutions before assessing agrarian, commercial, and maritime changes at the micro-level. Utilizing recent developments in economic history, institutional economics, and ecological economics, it explores the causality behind these agrarian and commercial changes.
