Böcker av Michael (Michael Stolleis is Professor of Public Law and Legal History at the University of Frankfurt and Director of the Max Planck Institute for Legal History) Stolleis

Presents the history of the symbolism through which law is characterised as being 'above' us. This title presents the history of this metaphor from antiquity onwards: from the Greek Eye of Justice, the eye of the impartial judge of the Underworld, the Eye of God watching past, present and future, to the almighty Eye of the Law.
