The aim of this course is to introduce students to an approach that will lead them to go beyond a purely systematic approach to law so as to reconstruct a chronological perspective. By the end of the course, students should be capable of situating a legal norm (eg. an article of the Civil Code) in its historical evolution.

This course traces the history of private law from the end of the Roman Empire to the present day and is composed of two parts:
- Introduction to the external history (sources of law) of private law, focused on the notion of the creation of the rule of law and its subsequent interpretation by the judge;
- Internal History, limited, because of the time allotted to the course, to the field of ownership and goods.

The course is taught as a series of lectures.
A detailed summary and a bibliography are handed out to students during the course. Upon request, it is possible to organise question-answer sessions.

The examination is designed to result in an assessment on three levels: knowledge, comprehension and capacity to apply the subject matter.
