Napoleonic Divorce Law in Poland (1808-1852)
In 1807 Napoleon Bonaparte created the Duchy of Warsaw from the Polish lands that had been ceded to France by Prussia. His Civil Code was enforced in the new Duchy too and, unlike the Catholic Church, it allowed the dissolution of marriage by divorce. This book sheds new light on the application of Napoleonic divorce regulations in the Polish lands between 1808-1852. Unlike what has been argued so far, this book demonstrates that divorces were happening frequently in 19th century Poland and even with the same rate as in France. In addition to the analysis of the Napoleonic divorce law, the reader is provided with a fully comprehensive description of parties as well as courts and officials involved in divorce proceedings, their course and the grounds for divorce.
The Genesis of Nineteenth-Century Civil Codes in the United States
Starting in Louisiana in the early nineteenth century, this book takes the reader on a journey through the USA and the development of their civil codes. From Georgia and New York, civil codes traveled to California and Dakota Territory; in the Great Plains, they made their way to Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota by the end of the century. Unveiling the history of nineteenth-century civil codes in the USA, this book examines their origin stories, circulation, and usage by focusing on the social-historical context of their drafting and legal concepts. “Rocheton's work, published four decades after Cook's book on ‘The American Codification Movement,’ contains an exhaustive and insi...
Prawo i kultura
Marek Wąsowicz jest odwzorowaniem ideału człowieka renesansu – szerokość zainteresowań badawczych, niezwykła staranność metodologiczna, umiejętność ujmowania zjawisk w ich współzależnościach instytucjonalnych, kulturowych i historyczno-sytuacyjnych, klarowność wywodu, imponująca erudycja. To są Jego cechy tak dobrze znane i tak wysoko cenione w środowisku akademickim, nie tylko prawniczym. Bowiem to, co wyróżnia Jubilata, to rozumienie prawa jako istotnego składnika kultury. [...] W uznaniu dorobku Marka Wąsowicza, zgodnie z akademicką tradycją, ofiarujemy Mu szkice i rozprawy zebrane w tym tomie. Anna Rosner, Mirosław Wyrzykowski, z Wprowadzenia
Demography of a Shtetl. The Case of Piotrków Trybunalski
A quantitative study of the pre-war population of Piotrków Trybunalski in Central Poland reveals key demographic similarities and differences between local Jews and non-Jews and places them in a European perspective.
Reconsidering Europeanization
This pertinent and highly original volume explores how ideas of Europe and processes of continental political, socio-economic, and cultural integration have been intertwined since the nineteenth century. Applying a wider definition of Europeanization in the sense of "becoming European", it will pay equal attention to counter-processes of disentanglement and disintegration that have accompanied, slowed down, or displaced such trends and developments. By focusing on the practices, agents, and experience of Europeanization, the volume strives to bring together the history of ideas and the history of human actions and conduct, two approaches that are usually treated separately in the field of European studies.
History of Law and Other Humanities.Views of the legal world across the time
The collection of essays presented here examines the links forged through the ages between the realm of law and the expressions of the humanistic culture.We collected thirty-five essays by international scholars and organized them into sections of ten chapters based around ten different themes. Two main perspectives emerged: in some articles the topic relates to the conventional approach of law and/in humanities (iconography, literature, architecture, cinema, music), other articles are about more traditional connections between fields of knowledge (in particular, philosophy, political experiences, didactics).We decided not to confine authors to one particular methodological framework, prefer...
