    Gravina, in his *Spirit of Roman Laws*, emphasizes that “Hotman, extremely well-versed in both sacred and secular antiquity, perverted, through his apostasy, the good qualities he had received from nature. He began to point out the faults of the jurists of the school of Accursius and Bartholomew, to censure the order of the books of law bearing the seal of antiquity, and to devise his own. This drew sharp criticism from Cujas, his only worthy rival. Hotman, in turn, attacked Cujas sometimes secretly, sometimes openly, sparking less a formal dispute between these two illustrious men than an anger that soon subsided.” The present text aptly illustrates this approach: the author selects the texts of Roman law that he comments on to create what is probably the first specialized treatise devoted to the law of obligations. It is an extremely rare text.
