VOORWOORD

Die publikasie van 'n huldigingsbundel ter ere van Paul van Warrnelo het sekerlik geen verduideliking nodig nie.
Die gedagte om so 'n bundel saam te stel en by geleentheid van die sewentigste herdenking van sy geboortedag aan te bied, het reeds in l 98 l ongeveer gelyktydig by sy voormalige studente en kollegas aan die Universiteit van Pretoria (waar hy
byna vier dekades lank as student, dosent, navorser, departementshoof en dekaan werksaam was) en aan die Universiteit van Suid-Afrika ontstaan. Die twee universiteite het die bundel dus gesamentlik aangepak. Professore R Feenstra en J Th de Smidt van Leiden is genooi om ook op die redaksie te dien.
Die Publikasiekomitee van die Universiteit van Suid-Afrika het aangebied om die bundel uit te gee en die grootste deel van die onkoste te dra. Van die kant van die Universiteit van Pretoria is 'n aansienlike finansiele bydrae gemaak. Beide hierdie
universiteite word hartlik bedank.
Persone wat genooi is om bydraes vir die bundel te skryf, sluit veral Paul van Warrnelo se oud-studente en voormalige kollegas in, asook ander bekende uid-Afrikaanse regsgeleerdes wat sy belangstelling en ywer ten opsigte van die Romeinse reg en regsgeskiedenis dee) en reeds veel op hierdie gebiede tot stand gebring het. Ook het 'n aantal beroemde Europese Romaniste en regshistorici met groot entoesiasme ingewillig om Paul van Warrnelo as 'n persoonlike vriend en 'n geeerde kollega te huldig. Die redaksie bedank al hierdie persone vir hulle besondere goedgesindheid en flinke samewerking. In die lig van die feit dat die bydraes uit verskeie lande afkomstig is en in verskillende tale geskryf is, is besluit om elke skrywer se sty) en verwysingsmetode so ver moontlik onaangeraak te Iaat. Benewens die feit dat dit haas onmoontlik sou wees om soveel verskillende style en aanbiedingswyses te vereenvormig, was dit ook sommige outeurs se uitdruklike wens dat hulle eie skryfstyl behoue moes bly.
Ons glo dat die individualiteit van elke bydrae ook die waarde van die bundel as 'n persoonlike huldeblyk verhoog. Eenvormigheid is dus slegs ten aansien van die uiterlike voorkoms van artikels nagestreef. Die taalgebruik, sty! en verwysingsmetode van elke bydrae is die outeur se eie verantwoordelikheid.
Die redaksie bedank graag alma! wat aan hierdie bundel meegewerk of die publikasie daarvan moontlik gemaak het. Die rektor van die Universiteit van Pretoria, professor Danie Joubert, en die rektor van die Universiteit van Suid-Afrika, professor Theo van Wijk, asook meneer Eugene van Heerden, direkteur van die Departement Uitgewersdienste van die Universiteit van SuidAfrika, verdien besondere vermelding.
Vir ons as studente, kollegas en vriende van Paul van Warmelo was dit 'n voorreg om hierdie bundel te kon saamstel. Mag dit hom waardig wees.
Pretoria, November 1984
