    (Dupin no. 1434). One of the best-known reference works for 18th-century jurists, it was continuously reprinted from 1718 to 1782. Contrary to what the title might suggest, it is not a legal dictionary but a general treatise arranged by subject. Also noteworthy is the captivating preface, which provides a list of authors by parliamentary jurisdiction, along with some pointed or critical remarks on some of the most established figures in legal doctrine (Montbrisson). We also find in the 6th edition... From the works of Cl. Henrys, a eulogy for B.: "One sees... that he knew beyond the text of the laws," "civil and canon law," of which he had, moreover, "acquired a perfect knowledge," a knowledge which allowed "the most important cases of written law" in his province to pass through his hands (in S. Dauchy, Les recueils d'arrêts et dictionnaires de jurisprudence, Paris, La Mémoire du Droit 2005, pp. 24-25). Working copy, the binding of the first volume unfortunately in poor condition.
