Parfait état intérieur. Law, Dictionaries, Claude Joseph de Ferrière was a well known French jurist, dean of the Faculty of Law in Paris, and a prolific author. He was the son of Claude de Ferrière (1639-1715), also a law professor at Paris and author of many popular legal works. Claude de Ferrière published ?Introduction à la pratique, contenant l'explication des principaux termes de pratiques & de coutume? in 1679. It went through numerous editions, and after his death it was taken over by his son Claude Joseph and re-named ?Introduction à la pratique? in 1718, ?Dictionnaire de Droit et de Pratique? in 1734. An immensely popular reference book for the French legal profession, it was re-issued, revised, corrected, and enlarged dozens of times under a series of editors until 1826. The work includes the etymology of several terms, as well as the origins of several laws and customs. The definitions in the two-volume work are almost always long and quite detailed, often subdivided into complicated categories. [Attributes: Hard Cover]
