从十九世纪中后期开始,随着法学和人类学研究的逐渐交叉和相互渗透,最终在西方人文社会科学领域出现并逐渐发展起来了一门新的学科——法人类学或者称为法律人类学。法人类学主要通过调查研究不同历史时期、不同的人群、不同的地域文化之间的相互影响,从而来探讨人类的法律制度在不同文明个体中的地位、作用和影响。而梅因的《古代法》被认为是法人类学研究领域的经典之作。梅因《古代法》不仅以优雅和纯美的文笔,更以广博的人文知识使他它很快成为了“19世纪乃至其他世纪中唯一的法学畅销书”。它不仅在当时的法律界引起了轰动,更吸引了很多其他研究领域的人的注意,尤其是人类学领域的一些学者的关注。
Since the middle and later of the 19th century, with the gradual intersection and mutual penetration of the studies of law and anthropology, eventually emerged in the western humanities and social sciences and gradually developed a new discipline - legal anthropology or legal human learn. Legal anthropology mainly explores the status, role and influence of human legal system in different civilizations by investigating the interaction between different historical periods, different people and different regional cultures. The “ancient law” by Maine is considered to be a classic in the field of legal anthropology. The “ancient law” of Maine not only made him an elegant and pure brushwork, but also made him quickly become the “best-selling book of law in the 19th century and other centuries” with his extensive humanistic knowledge. It not only caused a sensation in the legal circle of the time, but also attracted the attention of many other researchers, especially some scholars in anthropology.
