Legal scholars specializing in positive law also draw on them for information that can support historical analysis. However, this major source of law from the Ancien Régime remains poorly understood: until now, there was no comprehensive bibliography, no critical analysis, nor any study on the influence or legacy of this literature. This book aims to fill these gaps through collective scholarly research conducted by French academics and researchers at the initiative of the Centre for Judicial History (CNRS-University of Lille II) and with the support of the "Law and Justice" Research Mission. This research allows us to refute or qualify a number of received ideas, for example, regarding the reliability of these collections; It also demonstrates the influence of these works on the rationalization and standardization of law that led to the Napoleonic codifications. This study will interest all legal scholars who are interested in the complex relationship between jurisprudence and legal scholarship, because the "jurisprudence of judgments" contained in the collections ultimately proves to be a "jurisprudence of the judges" who shape it and give it meaning. The parallels with the contemporary period are obvious. For all these reasons, this pioneering publication deserves a place in the library of both historians and legal scholars who wish to access the primary sources of the subject matter they teach or practice.
