Introduction historique au droit

Synopsis of Introduction historique au droit

«Introduction historique au droit» is the historical-legal essay by Jean-Louis Thireau, published in paperback by Flammarion (386 pages, in French).

Thireau argues that law is not an abstract construction but the product of historical evolution: from the Greek and Roman civilisations, Christianity and the Middle Ages, to modern public law (state, sovereignty, constitution), national private laws and the codification of the late 18th century.

The work is part of Flammarion's Champs Université collection, within its series of university studies.

Aimed at law students and readers interested in the historical evolution of legal institutions.
