Description from the seller
The Empire’s true vade-mecum, this work gathers in a single volume the Código Napoléon, the Code of Procedure, the Code of Commerce, and the Criminal Code, in force from the early 19th century.
Designed for practitioners – lawyers, judges, notaries, merchants, administrators – it offers direct access to the great texts that laid the foundations of modern French law, in a clear, immediately consultable arrangement.
Interesting to both enthusiasts of Napoleonic history, jurists, collectors of old books, and students of comparative law, this handbook testifies to the ambition of codification and rationalization of justice under the Empire.
A working document turned patrimonial artifact, which brings one close to the birth of contemporary legal culture!
