Le Grant Coustumier de Bourgogne.

More Details >
4000 €
Completely revised and expanded edition of the custom of Burgundy by Chasseneuz.
A book on the origins of French law.
Chasseneuz's comments on customary law in Burgundy draw heavily on Roman law. Following him, other authors will revise local customary rights, such as Bouhier with the Customs of Berry. At the beginning of the 16th century, all customary law was thus reviewed and put back in order, constituting a legal corpus which would serve as the basis for the great reform of the Napoleonic Code.
"The appearance of his book was an event in the legal world. Its success soon exceeded the limits of Burgundy. [...] We saluted, in its author, the man who, the first, had just introduced the light of Roman law in the chaos of local customs." PIGNOT, "A Jurisconsult in the Sixteenth Century: Barthélemy de Chasseneuz", Larose, 1880
Beautiful Gothic print on two columns embellished with initials and 7 full-page engravings of inheritance trees. The completely revised edition of 1534 appears with a sequel, dated 1535 and with its own title page, listing all the additions to the Commentaries of Chasseneuz published in 1517 and 1528.
