I am publishing a course on the Napoleonic Code; therefore, my aim is to interpret and explain the Napoleonic Code itself, considered as a living law, as applicable and binding law; and my preference for the dogmatic method will not prevent me from always taking the articles of the law themselves as my basis; for I think, with Ortolan, that teaching texts does not entail the exclusive necessity of commentary.\" (Preface to the 1st ed.) It is in this spirit that D. presents us with the works devoted to his analysis of the Civil Code and continues: “I will therefore never fail to make known the state of legal doctrine and especially of jurisprudence, this lively, I would almost say dramatic, part of legislation (...). I will therefore assert the authority of principles wherever it seems to me to be disregarded, even when irrefutable jurisprudence has enshrined opinions that I do not believe I should follow. Far be it from me, however, to have the presumptuous ambition of overturning such jurisprudence! While maintaining one's convictions as a legal scholar, one must know, at the bar as elsewhere, how to accept the facts; and it is in the nature of things no less than in the public interest that the same questions eventually receive an irrevocable solution.” A very rare, homogeneous set of the treatise by Demolombe and his successor. A superb copy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51964338438491,"sku":"54610","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0163\/5419\/files\/54610-1_4b9e7ad1-c67d-49a0-9c14-514ee568dadb.jpg?v=1769440690","url":"https:\/\/www.memoiredudroit.fr\/en\/products\/54610-demolombe-cours-de-code-napoleon","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
