    Collections of judgments and dictionaries of jurisprudence are a widely used source for legal historians. Legal scholars specializing in positive law also draw upon them for information that can support historical analysis. Yet, this major source of law from the Ancien Régime remains poorly understood: until now, no comprehensive bibliography, no critical analysis, nor any study of the influence or legacy of this literature existed. This book aims to fill these gaps through collaborative research conducted by French academics and researchers at the initiative of the Centre for Judicial History (CNRS-University of Lille II) and with the support of the "Law and Justice" Research Mission. This research allows us to refute or qualify a number of received ideas, for example, regarding the reliability of these collections; it also demonstrates the influence of these works on the rationalization and standardization of the law that led to the Napoleonic codifications. This study will interest all legal scholars who are interested in the complex relationship between case law and legal scholarship, because the "case law of judgments" contained in the collections ultimately proves to be a "case law of the judges who shaped it and gave it meaning." The parallels with the contemporary period are clearly evident. For all these reasons, this pioneering publication deserves a place in the library of both historians and legal scholars who wish to access the primary sources of the subject matter they teach or practice.
