Rezensionen

"Reputable scholars have researched the far-reaching legacy of Magna Carta concerning such fundamental liberties as due process in administering justice, governance according to law, and the values of liberty and equality as these universalist qualities have played out in the histories of Hungary, the Czech lands, Poland, and Lithuania... This volume could be eye-opening for readers who consider the legacy of Magna Carta to be confined to Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Summing Up: Recommended." - A. C.
