Claude-Joseph de Ferrière was a successful jurisconsult, Docteur Régent of the University of Paris, and avocat for Parlement. The son of well-known jurisconsult, Claude de Ferrière (1639-1715), Claude-Joseph's most notable contribution appears to have been editing and enlarging his father's works. His works were popular and wide-ranging on legal topics, and with the aid of Claude-Joseph, and later Parisian jurist and legal writer, Antoine-Gaspard Boucher d'Argis (1708-1791), enjoyed more than one-hundred years of currency."Lacking front cover and outer spine as shown.

Volume 2 Only
"Published in Lyon in 1744 by Chez Les Frères Duplain, this Volume II of Les Œuvres de Me Jean Bacquet, Avocat du Roy en la Chambre du Trésor represents an important work in the field of early modern French jurisprudence. Jean Bacquet, a prominent 16th-century royal advocate, was renowned for his deep knowledge of fiscal and feudal law, particularly regarding rights of the crown, property disputes, and the management of royal domains. This 18th-century edition, expanded and annotated by Claude and Claude-Joseph de Ferrière—distinguished legal scholars and commentators—adds valuable updates, questions, and judicial decisions from France's sovereign courts, providing insight into the evolving interpretation of legal principles across two centuries.
The work exemplifies the intellectual rigour of pre-Revolutionary French legal scholarship, combining theoretical exposition with practical applications drawn from royal decrees and court rulings. Volume II continues Bacquet's exploration of the intersection between civil, canonical, and royal law, offering an essential reference for understanding the balance of power between monarchy and property rights under the Ancien Régime. Its detailed marginal notes and commentary reflect the meticulous legal reasoning that shaped French jurisprudence and influenced later codifications in Europe.
This 1744 Lyon printing is a fine example of 18th-century legal publishing, notable for its typographic elegance and scholarly lineage. Though only one volume of the multi-volume set, it stands as a testament to the continuity of French legal thought from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment. It will appeal to collectors of rare legal texts, scholars of French history, and those interested in the foundations of European civil law."
