    (Dupin no. 993). The collections of Institutes published particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries represent an attempt to codify French customary law using the framework provided by Justinian law. The most important authors of the 18th century tried their hand at this. Boutaric, who also wrote numerous commentaries on the ordinances of Louis XIV, made a significant contribution to this movement. This work remains cited by contemporary legal scholars as one of the rare attempts to systematize the law of obligations before Pothier (Gazzaniga, p. 210). Compared to other collections of Institutes, it has two distinctive features. First, it originated from a course taught by the author at the Faculty of Law in Toulouse between 1728 and 1731 and was only published posthumously. Next, it includes a fundamental preface on the reasons for classifying French law within the order of Roman law, which begins with the following words: "I have always believed that French law is to Roman civil law what Roman civil law is to natural law…we can regard Roman civil law as the common law of the Kingdom and that the changes made by the ordinances of our Kings, by our customs and by our usages are what constitute French law, our own and particular law. Could I have been mistaken in my idea? This is what we are going to examine and what will be the subject of this preface."
