Description
Law - Law books Pothier, Robert-Joseph. De Diversis Regulis Juris Antiqui. From R. J. Pothier’s Pandectis Justinianeis, reorganised into a new order. Edited and with a preface added for the benefit of his students by F.R. Antecessor. 2 volumes. Printed at Pisis by Seb. Nistri, 1825–1826. 474, 450 pages. Contemporary half-leather binding with some gilt lettering on the spine and a spine title (slightly scuffed). First and only edition of this collection; rare. - Not listed in Graesse and Brunet, not in the KVK (only modern reprints). - R.J. Pothier was a judge and professor in Orléans and was one of the most influential civil lawyers of the pre-revolutionary 18th century. Many of his works formed the basis of the Code Civil. He initially conducted research into Roman law, having recognised its significance for French law. Thus, in his work *Pandectae Justinianeae in novum ordinem digestae*, he gave the Pandects a fundamentally new systematisation and condensed the complex subject matter down to its essentials. By systematically improving the organisational structure of the Digests, he sought to counter the Enlightenment’s criticism of Roman law. – Slightly tanned.
