THE RENOWNED LAURENT'S «PRINCIPES DE DROIT CIVIL», A FUNDAMENTAL CORNERSTONE OF FRENCH CIVIL LAW
Laurent, François. Principes de droit civil. Bruxelles: E. Bruylant; Paris: A. Chevalier-Marescq, 1887.
33 volumes in large 8vo, contemporary half blue morocco on marbled paper. Each volume contains approximately 500-600 pages.
Fourth edition of the celebrated Laurent's «Principles of Civil Law», first published between 1869 and 1878: the work was so successful that, already in 1879, the French Minister of Justice commissioned the author to prepare a report with a proposal for a revision of the French Civil Code.
François Laurent (1810-1887), was a French jurist, professor at Gand.
He was inspired by liberal and anticlerical ideas, that showed both in behavior and in his writing, gaining enemies and disagreements: but the integrity of his conduct meant that he kept the chair until his death.
