In the form of familiar letters, he sets forth the subject of obligations in Roman law, a subject considered difficult, but also particularly suited to developing the legal mind. Leaving aside almost all controversies and burdening himself with only a minimum of references, he succeeds not only in giving a precise idea of ​​the institutions created by the Romans in this area but also in showing the work carried out by classical jurisprudence or by the praetor to perfect them—without, however, his admiration for Roman law preventing him from seeing and stating the imperfections of the system (maintenance of the anti-consensualist principle; excessive rigidity of the rule “Res inter alios acta…”; inability to create a special type for irregular deposits; lack of specialization and publicity of mortgages, etc.).” » (Henry Lévy-Bruhl, RIDC n° 2\/1959, p. 492).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51963880931675,"sku":"51084","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0163\/5419\/files\/51084-1.jpg?v=1766948823","url":"https:\/\/www.memoiredudroit.fr\/en\/products\/51084-viard-lettres-a-francois-sur","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
