In 1983, when the Southern African Society of Legal Historians was founded, the publication of a journal of legal history was envisaged to further the aims of the Society and to encourage contact and co–operation between legal historians, legal historical societies and other interested organisations in South Africa and abroad. The initial step in the realisation of this goal was the publication of a Newsletter, some ten years after the founding of the Society. This annual publication, which did not seek the status of a legal periodical, was renamed “Bulletin” in 1986. In 1992, the Bulletin was replaced by the first issue of Fundamina, a fully–fledged journal of legal history.

The journal’s areas of interest are Legal history and Roman law.

Articles written in English, Afrikaans, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Italian are acceptable.

Abstracts written in English should be provided

The journal publishes 2 issues per year, in July and December.

Its abbreviated title is Fundamina.
