abstract
The subject of this paper is a description and analysis of the life and work of the extraor¬dinary personality of the exiled lawyer F. A. Mann who became an extraordinary expert in public international law, private international law, comparative law and commercial law, who, moreover, laid the foundations of monetary law as a special subject of legal doctrine. As the famous English judge, Lord Denning, would say: “Mann contributed more than anyone else to the development the science of law in our time.” Born in a German Jewish family, he studied and began an academic career in Berlin. He was then forced to flee to Great Britain, where he studied law again and became a renowned solicitor and legal scholar. His career was crowned after World War II, when he became a leading figure in international legal organizations, leaving a far-reaching influence in English and international jurisprudence. In the 1960s and 1970s, he lectured at German universities in particular, where he received the highest honours, and also influenced German jurisprudence.
