" La torture judiciaire dans l'Encyclopédie "
2009
Le droit dans l'Encyclopédie
2013
Apart from an annotated edition of the articles on Roman law and a few aticles of natural, political and penal justice, there has been no systematic and detailed study of law in the Encyclopédie. Without claiming to exhaust this huge and difficult subject, this article has a three-fold aim, namely to understand the place of jurisprudence in the work and to reconstruct its complex ramifications, to situate in the legal culture and controversies of its time, and to understand the contribution of three contributors: Toussaint (a pactitioner), Boucher d'Argis (a jurisconsult) and Jaucourt (a jusnaturalist).
