For the Slavs, Krauss's _Sitte und Brauch der Südslaven_ (Vienna, 1885) is the most valuable treatise. See also Turner, _Slavisches Familienrecht_ (Strassburg, 1874); and Kovalevsky's _Modern Customs and Ancient Laws of Russia_ (London, 1891), in which the author criticises and corrects Sir Henry Maine on important points. For Greece, in addition to Leist's works above mentioned, see the paper of Campaux, _Du mariage à Athènes_ (Paris, 1867); that of Moy, "La famille dans Homère," in _Revue des cours littéraires_, 8 mars 1869; Stegeren, _De conditione civili feminarum atheniensium_ (Zwallae, 1839); Ouvré, _Observations sur le régime matrimonial au temps d'Homère_ (Paris, 1886); Lasaulx, _Zur Geschichte und Philosophie der Ehe bei den Griechen_ (Munich, 1852); especially Hruza's _Die Ehebegründung nach attischem Rechte_ (Erlangen and Leipzig, 1892); and his _Polygamie und Pellikat nach griechischem Rechte_ (Erlangen and Leipzig, 1894).

On the matrimonial institutions of the Romans consult Marquardt's _Privatleben_; Lange's _Römische Alterthümer_; Smith's _Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities_; Müller's _Handbuch_; Bernhöft's _Staat und Recht der rom. Königszeit_ (Stuttgart, 1882); Karlowa's _Die Formen der röm. Ehe und Manus_ (Bonn, 1868); Rossbach's _Die röm. Ehe_ (Stuttgart, 1853); his _Römische Hochzeits- und Ehedenkmäler_ (Leipzig, 1871); Laband's "Rechtliche Stellung der Frauen im altröm. und germanischen Recht," in _Zeitschrift für Völkerpsychologie_, III (Berlin, 1865); and Bouchez-Leclercq's _Manuel des inst. romaines_ (Paris, 1886). From the mass of writings which are of service for this and the four subsequent chapters may also be mentioned Brissonius, _De ritu nuptiarum_ (Paris, 1564); his _De jure connubiorum_ (Paris, 1564); Hotman, _De veteri ritu nuptiarum observatio_; his _De sponsalibus_; his _De ritu nuptiarum et jure matrimoniorum_--all published and bound with the two works of Brissonius (Leyden, 1641); Grupen, _De uxore romana_ (Hannover, 1727); Ayrer, _De jure connubiorum apud romanos_ (Göttingen, 1736); the anonymous _Dei riti delle antiche nozze romane_ (Perugia, 1791); Maanen, _De muliere in manu et in tutela_ (Lugd. Bat., 1823); Schultz, _De jure succedendi feminarum apud romanos_ (Trajecti ad Rhenum, 1826); Chamblain, _De la puissance paternelle chez les romains_ (Paris, 1829); Eggers, _Wesen und Eigenthümlichkeiten der altröm. Ehe mit Manus_ (Altona, 1833); Mahlmann, _De matrimonii veterum romanorum ineundi_ (Halle, 1845); Hase, _De manu juris romani_ (Halle, 1847); Gerlach, _De romanorum connubio_ (Halle, 1851); Dubief, _Qualis fuerit familia romana tempore Plauti_ (Molini, 1859); Pagés, _La famille romaine_ (Toulouse, 1892); Louïse, _Du sénatus-consulte velléien et de l'incapacité de la femme mariée_ (Chateau-Thierry, 1873); Bourdin, _De la condition de la mère en droit romain et en droit français_ (Paris, 1881); Salomon, _Du mariage du droit des gens et en général des mariages sans connubium_ (Paris, 1889); Desminis, _Die Eheschenkung nach röm. und insbesondere nach byzantinischem Recht_ (Athens, 1897); and Ciccotti, _Donne e politica negli ultimi anni della republica romana_ (Milan, 1895). The criticisms of Kuntze, _Excurse über röm. Recht_ (2d ed., Leipzig, 1880), and Esmein, _Mélanges d'histoire du droit et de critique_ (Paris, 1886), are of great value on various important questions. Compare also Couch, "Woman in Early Roman Law," in _Harvard Law Review_, VIII (Cambridge, 1895); Picot, _Du mariage romain, chrétien, et français_ (Paris, 1849); Monlezun, _Condition civile de la femme mariée à Rome et en France_ (Paris, 1878); Tardieu, _De la puissance paternelle en droit romain et en droit français_ (Paris, 1875); and Cornil, "Contribution à l'étude de la patria potestas," in _Nouv. rev. hist. de droit_, XXI, 416-85 (Paris, 1897). Gide's excellent _Étude sur la condition privée de la femme_ (2d ed., Paris, 1885) deals with the laws of Greece, Rome, and other nations. Poste's edition of Gaius's _Institutionum juris civilis commentarii quatuor_ (Oxford, 1875) is an indispensable source; and among legal treatises are particularly to be commended Muirhead's _Introduction to the Private Law of Rome_ (Edinburgh, 1886); Puchta's _Institutionen_; Moyle's _Institutionum Libri_ (Oxford, 1890); Rein, _Privatrecht_ (Leipzig, 1836); and especially Sohm's _Institutes_ (Oxford, 1892), by far the best work on the subject for historical purposes, showing the rare insight, clearness of analysis, and vigorous style peculiar to the author. Most readers will find the short _Introduction_ of Hadley and the excellent _Outlines_ of Professor Morey sufficient.
