On 2 March 2013 Robert Feenstra, Emeritus Professor of Roman Law and its History at the University of Leyden, died aged 92. 'Brave to the last moment, debilitated by illness, but still strong and clear of mind' read the official death notice issued by his family. One of the greatest legal historians was no more - and Margreet Ahsmann, one of his former doctoral students and now a judge and senior vice-president of the court in the Hague, put into words the feeling that all who knew him experienced when they heard the news: he had been so much a part of our lives for so long, that somehow we all, quite unreasonably, thought that he would always be there.
An era has closed with the passing away of the doyen of legal history, Robert Feenstra. His contribution to legal science is reflected in the eleven universities outside the Netherlands that each bestowed an LLD honoris causa on him. The fact that the University of Pretoria is amongst these institutions reflects not only the international stature of Feenstra's work, but also his personality. A Dutch Francophile, and in addition a cosmopolitan, Feenstra travelled the world and inspired young and old researchers.
