« Los que pasan el Rhin, pierden la cabeza »

Abstract

The setting up of the « Junta para Ampliación de Estudios e Investigaciones Científicas » (1907) allowed a regular flow of Spanish scholars to European universities, particularly – in the case of jurists – to Germany. This paper explores the careers of these scholars and their role in the 'Germanisation' of Spanish jurisprudence.
