‘Johannes Voet's Commentarius ad Pandectas, the leading institutional work in Roman-Dutch law, is also the most frequently quoted exposition of that legal system in the South African courts. The opening title of that magisterial work, however, has for the most part been unjustly neglected by our judges, scholars and law teachers alike. Apart from providing an exceptionally fine introduction to the elements of law and justice, this title reveals the imposing range of Voet's scholarship, which sweeps within its compass many ancient writings.’ Andrew Domanski, Fundamina, A Journal of Legal History, volume 19, Issue 2, 2013. http://reference.sabinet.co.za/sa_epublication_article/funda_v19_n2_a4
