Tradition, Codification and Unification
Two hundred years ago, many civil law jurisdictions adhered to exclusive national codifications of private law and abandoned the old Ius Commune. Other jurisdictions in the civilian tradition did not engage in codifying private law and continued along lines of authoritative opinions, case law, and fragmented legislation. In contemporary days, the shades of national law slowly melt away, and we imagine a future where new common laws will continue to take shape. This book deals with this mirror image and explores the law in its everlasting tension between tradition and change. Historic and comparative analyses from European, Latin American, and South African jurisdictions provide perspectives on the role of substance, methodology, institutions, as well as individuals in developments of law towards the future.

Manners, Customs, and Dress During the Middle Ages, and During the Renaissance Period
Art must be the faithful expression of a society, since it represents it by its works as it has created them -- undeniable witnesses of its spirit and manners for future generations. But it must be acknowledged that art is only the consequence of the ideas which it expresses; it is the fruit of civilization, not its origin. To understand the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, it is necessary to go back to the source of its art, and to know the life of our fathers; these are two inseparable things, which entwine one another, and become complete one by the other. - Preface.
