    Until the mid-18th century, collections of case law were generally presented by their authors in a rather loose chronological or thematic format. Under the influence of the encyclopedic spirit, two authors chose to present their collections of case law alphabetically. Brillon was the first (see above), followed by Denisart. This resulted in texts that were more comprehensive in terms of case law than traditional dictionaries such as those by Ferrière. Moreover, Denisart's text is of exceptional quality, making it a key source for the study of old law. Based on information provided by Dupin, we indicated in a previous catalogue (no. 11-60) that the 1771 edition was the last. Upon verification, it appears that the edition we are presenting here holds this status. It should be noted that Camus began a new edition in 1785, which was interrupted in 1790 with the ninth volume. (verbo “mortgage”). Fine example apart from the minor defects mentioned.
