(...) It represents such broad research that the brief references will usefully shorten the reading of complete or critical editions; He presents them with such judicious and lofty views, where one is pleased to find the \"spirit\" and the manner of the learned and profound author of that great and remarkable Treatise on Theoretical and Applied Natural Law, whose vast labor, interrupted by the war—temporarily, we hope—is recalled by Mr. Rothe at the beginning of his new book with discreet melancholy and legitimate confidence; it is devoted to such crucial works, so often used or mentioned by jurists of canon and civil law, as well as by theologians, philosophers, and even literary figures of the Middle Ages, that we felt we could point it out and should praise it here.\" (Guillaume Joseph, Bibliothèque de l'École des Chartes, vol. 89\/1928, p. 421 et seq.).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51963812544859,"sku":"49797","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0163\/5419\/files\/49797-1.jpg?v=1766946739","url":"https:\/\/www.memoiredudroit.fr\/en\/products\/49797-rothe-l-esprit-du-droit","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
