After the first edition of this text appeared in 1994, a number of major events took place. To mention a few: both the UNIDROIT and the Lando Commission published their Principles; Markesinis published a book on the gradual convergence of common law and civil law in Europe, Kotz published a first book on European Contract Law, and Von Bar did so on European Tort Law. European private law has become an establihsed field of research in which scholars from all over Europe are involved, and courses on European private law are taught in several European universities.;This second revised and expanded edition adds several new subjects and directly addresses the possible content of common rules.
