    Coquille, a jurist from Nivernais (1523-1603), is, along with Cujas and Dumoulin, one of the three most important French jurists of the 16th century. We have here the excellent scholarly edition, as Dupin points out (no. 973), which contains both the institutions of French law and customary law, as well as questions and answers on articles of custom. He demonstrates, within the context of the legal renaissance of the 16th century, that Roman law was not intended to be applied in France as the common law. It possessed no inherent authority there. At most, it was permissible to resort to it when a question arose that neither the customs nor the ordinances could answer: “Roman law is used by reason, not by necessity.” In this, he agrees with Dumoulin, though he differs from him in believing that the common law of France should be sought in the entirety of customs and ordinances, without privileging the custom of Paris. The debate between Dumoulin and Coquille is therefore a debate between a centralist and a more decentralized conception of law. Beyond this general theory, the institutions of French law make an essential contribution to many branches of law (see P. Petaut, Histoire du droit privée français - la famille, Loisel 1992; see A.M. Patault, Introduction historique au droit des biens, PUF 1989). This second volume actually contains the complete text and commentary on the custom of Nivernais, and concludes with a question-and-answer session.
