    in-8, full mottled fawn calfskin, gilt title on burgundy paper, smooth spine richly decorated with gilt tools, fillets and lacework, covers framed with a blind fillet, red edges, gilt roll on the edges, map announced as absent, (headcaps and corners worn with some small losses, edges rubbed with some abrasions), text fresh, XI-[4 ff.]-448 p.
    The title "Spirit" is particularly apt here: "Highly familiar with the content of d'Aguesseau's ordinances, Thieriot clearly continues the work of the great jurist; his synthesis readily goes beyond the letter of the Custom of Troyes, retaining only its spirit and conforming it to common customary law." The preface to the work indicates from the outset its purpose, which is not to write a commentary on the custom, but rather an introduction to its study. It thus groups the major principles of civil law by subject matter, sets forth the rule to be followed, and notes in the margins references to the articles of the custom. It is also interesting to note that when the Custom of Troyes is silent on certain topics, the author simply borrows from the Custom of Paris, his avowed aim being to make the two customs "a single code." (G. Meylan, Dictionnaire historique des juristes français, Paris, PUF, 2007).
