Second edition.
The version commented by Jean Tournet of the Coutume de Paris will be the legal reference throughout the seventeenth century.
The Coustumes de Paris, revised in 1605, constitute the body of legal texts which will apply to the jurisdiction of the Parliament of Paris (and therefore almost to all of France) until the drafting of the Napoleonic Civil Code. They are, moreover, one of the major sources of inspiration for the Civil Code.
