Ventre-Denis, Ortolan 1802-1873, un juriste dans son siècle, RHFD no. 16, p. 172). He published, in particular, works on criminal law frequently featured in this catalogue, as well as two works on Roman law: first, a historical explanation of Justinian's Institutes, and second, a history of Roman legislation from its origins to modern law. It is rare to find such a comprehensive edition of this text. This is the author's most important work, especially because it incorporates early 19th-century German Roman law doctrine as well as the Institutes of Gaius, which had been rediscovered at the beginning of the 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51964252127579,"sku":"53353","price":140.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0163\/5419\/files\/53353-1.jpg?v=1766954574","url":"https:\/\/www.memoiredudroit.fr\/en\/products\/53353-ortolan-explication-historique-des-instituts","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
