Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Civil Law The Arabian conquerors who succeeded in spreading the law as well as the faith of Islam over a large portion of the globe came in contact with the Roman law of the eastern empire and were compelled to borrow from it because their own system was too crude and primitive to meet the new conditions which their conquests produced. The amount of real Roman law which has found its way into the Muslim svstem is rather surprising to those who have not specially investigated the subject.
