    (Dupin no. 878). A work of excellent reputation, praised in these terms by Henrys: “Since the aforementioned Monsieur Brodeau has combined practice with study, and the application of the bar with the reading of good books, one can not better employ one's time than to read what he has left us of his remarks; if Monsieur Louet's collection is commendable in itself, it is no less so for its commentary” (collection of judgments, book 1, chapter 3, p. 36). It is indeed one of the best collections of jurisprudence from the Parliament of Paris of the 17th century, still cited today in legal histories as one of the principal jurisprudential sources (see, for example, A.M. Patault, Introduction historique au droit des biens, PUF 1989). One of its main advantages is that it takes the form of an alphabetical dictionary in which the rulings are inserted logically (see, for example, the entry on custom). Our edition is beautifully printed. It clearly separates the original text, the summary additions of rulings from other parliaments, and the fundamental supplements made by Brodeau to the initial text.
