Summary/Abstract: Evgeniy Vaskovsky always enjoyed well-deserved reputation, in the first place as a specialist in the civil process. His fame as a material civil lawyer and, in particular,as a civil lawyer-educator, somewhat less; even in Russia, the star of his civil-name is eclipsing by other many civil stars, more bright and flashy. The article attempts to at least partially fix this obvious injustice – tell about “The Handbook of Civil Law” by Evgeniy Vaskovsky. Unfortunately, the Handbook was left unfinished: it was limited to only two parties – the General Provisions and the Rights in Rem. Despite this fact, as well as those one hundred thirty years that have passed since its publication, “The Handbook of Civil Law” by Evgeniy Vaskovsky continues to be more than relevant, useful and even instructive piece not only academic, but also scientific as well as practical destination.
