In connection with Lund University's 350th anniversary, the Faculty of Law has published a history of the Faculty, written by the undersigned Professor Emeritus of Legal History Kjell Å. Modéer. It comprises 560 pages, is richly illustrated and covers the history of the Faculty from its inception in 1666 to the present day, and is the Faculty's first ever history. The presentation is based on a legal cultural theory that seeks to investigate the importance of tradition and deep structures in the creation of legal knowledge structures, especially among the lawyers working in academia in Lund. I wish to revise this manuscript and translate it into English. As a research topic, university history is based on knowledge transfer, legal networks, and translations of internationally used concepts. Thus, the work connects to current national and international discourses on academic knowledge cultures.

The manuscript will be reduced and revised for an international audience to approximately 250 printed pages and will be submitted for acceptance and publication by Lund University Press.
