Camus 1527 (1743 edition). First published in 1699. The 'Douaire' is described in Marion as 'Jouissance accordee a la femme survivant a son mari d'une parti des biens de celui-ci. Le douaire etait stipule avant le mariage. Il etait surtout constitue en immeubles.' Renusson was a learned lawyer and his works have been reprinted and used well into the late 18th century and are still worthwhile consulting according to Michaud. - Some scattered and unobtrusive browning, the first 30 pages with a wormtrack in lower blank margin.
