Summary
Volker Siebels' biography of Ernst Landsberg (1860-1927), a legal historian from Bonn, deals with Landsberg's main work, a three-volume history of German jurisprudence, which is still regarded as a standard work today. In spite of the recognition he received from his colleagues, the fact that he was a Jew hampered his professional and financial advancement.
