    (Dupin no. 1311). We present the edition of this treatise, published during the author's lifetime and supplemented by him. While jurists of later periods, and especially of the 18th century, have sometimes questioned the accuracy of Papon's citations of judgments, the main interest of this collection lies in providing a most complete overview, in French, of the jurisprudence of the parliaments of the first half of the 16th century. R. Martinage emphasizes, particularly with regard to criminal law, that Papon's judgments "illustrate not only the struggle between scholarly doctrine and new legislation, but also, more traditionally, the reconciliation between doctrine and national custom." » (in Collections of judgments and dictionaries of jurisprudence, Editions La Mémoire du Droit, Paris, 2005, p. 240 et seq.) While it is true that in some aspects the text still bears the mark, a bit like Bouthillier's Somme Rural, of medieval conceptions of law, it is nonetheless very accessible (see, for example, Book X on “executory obligations,” which constitutes a reasoned exposition of contract law).
