This book is about conflicts over inheritance in the Ancient and
Mediaeval Worlds. It deals with rules of inheritance and property
division in ancient Greece, in the Roman and Byzantine Empires, in some
Latin kingdoms and in mediaeval Islamic Egypt. The sources drawn upon
for this book are varied: documentary sources, such as inscriptions,
papyri and manuscripts containing petitions and wills, but also literary
sources, legal documents and law codes. The book focuses on the impact
religions had on family law and property transmission and offers insight
on Greco-Roman religion, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It deals with
gender inequality in the Ancient and Mediaeval Mediterranean world.
