Philippe RENUSSON
Traitez du douaire, et de la garde-noble et bourgeoise, qu'on appelle bail en plusieurs coutumes
par La Compagnie des libraires|à Paris 1724|18.50 x 25.50 cm|relié
New edition, after the original published in 1699. The second part is announced by a half-title.
Contemporary speckled brown calf binding. Richly decorated spine with raised bands. Red morocco title label. Various rubbing. Good copy.
Renusson devoted several works to family law including this treatise on dower rights, which concerns the property that a husband will leave to his wife in case of death. We distinguish customary law, thus fixed by custom, and contractual law, that is to say fixed by contract. Dower is a fundamental element of marriage law under the Ancien Régime.
