M. Pailliet - Les cinq codes - 1816

Fascinating edition of this legal work, which fits into the context of the French codification established under the Consulate and the Empire and intended to bring together, in organized and relatively accessible texts, the main rules governing civil life, commercial relations, judicial procedure, and the organization of justice -

Under the title The Five Codes, the work traditionally gathers the five great Napoleonic codes that then structure a large part of French law, namely the Code Civil, the Code of Civil Procedure, the Code of Commerce, the Code of Criminal Instruction, and the Penal Code -

This meeting in a single volume serves essentially a practical purpose, since it allows judges, lawyers, public officers, administrators, merchants, and educated citizens to have at their disposal a concentrated set of the main legislative texts applicable in France in the early 19th century -
