'Law is not on our side, but honour is. We won't give in'
Article Abstract:
Just over ten years ago the rare 16th-century book, De Humani Corporis Fabrica by Flemish anatomist Andreas Vesalius, was stolen from the Christ Church College, Oxford, library. The book, one of 74 stolen over a 3-year period, was discovered at Nippon Dental University in Japan but the university refuses to return it and under Japanese law is not obliged to.
