Traité sur la jurisdiction consulaire.
[XVIIIe siècle].
In-folio (380 x 250 mm), brown basane, untrimmed; spine fully restored, binding worn and stained (Period binding).
An important unpublished manuscript treatise on consular jurisdiction, i.e. the commercial courts that adjudicate disputes between merchants.
It is a compilation of innumerable articles and reports of court decisions, in French and Latin, concerning the jurists involved (officers: election, royal prosecutor, clerks, bailiffs... ), the notion of jurisdiction (for trading, bills and bills of exchange, goods bought for the profession or not tools, bread bought to feed his workers, sale of drugs to a doctor, sale of foodstuffs, his place of his farm, craftsmen's wages, cars, fair, fraudulent bankruptcy, maritime trade), the jurisdiction of people (merchants and traders, bourgeois, noble; ecclesiastics, magistrates, women, etc.. ), territory (ordinary judges, debtor's domicile, banknote endorsements, etc.) and other subjects.
The decisions cover the whole of France (Lyon fairs, Toulouse stock exchange, Rouen town square, etc.)
A division into eight chapters and a table of contents (in which the copyist expressly refers to this manuscript as "mon traité sur la juridiction consulaire") make it easy to consult.
An interesting compilation by a jurist on consular jurisdiction.
