Romanistic tradition medieval in contractual principles Visigoth

Abstract

This research locates the antecedent of the medieval Roman tradition on contracts in Visigothic contractual principles even though they choose to follow the criteria of the republican jurisprudence against the rules in classical law that in Spain is recovered thanks to the Partidas of Alfonso X. This starts a self romanistic tradition in interpreting the good faith principle still noticeable in more recent judgments of the Spanish Supreme Court.
