The Commission for Drafting the Codex Theresianus at Brno and its Proposal about the Introduction of this Code. A Contribution in Regard to „300 Years Maria Theresia“

Summary/Abstract: This contribution, relying on preliminary publications, picks-up the performances rendered by the Commission for drafting the Codex Theresianus as a general Civil code for all Austrian hereditary provinces within the period between 1753 and 1756 at Brno. According to these efforts a singular script, conserved by the Moravian State Archive, is dealing with the introduction of the Codex Theresianus. It offers an insight into the methods of applicating and practising sources of law by the members of this commission under the leadership of Joseph Azzoni, an expert on Bohemian law. For this reason those sections within this draft, which are dealing with customary law and legal interpretation, will be edited in the annex to this contribution.
