J. M. Zachariae distinguished himself through his scholarly dissertation on res mancipi et nec mancipi, those crucial categories of Roman property law that determined what could be freely transferred and what required formal ceremony. His work Conjecturae demonstrated the continuing relevance of ancient legal concepts to understanding the foundations of European jurisprudence.
