Abstract

The book offers an interesting intellectual perspective for the recasting of conventional methodologies in comparative law. The genealogical contraposition between common law and civil law is re-substantiated according to a new paradigm based on the oppositional couple of concepts incarnation/excarnation. According to the Author's view, the morphology of English legal system was shaped by the the elective community of the pristine common lawyers, by the oracular body of the serjeants at law. On the contrary, the Civil Law tradition moved from the preeminence attributed to a sacralized text of Law, the Latin Corpus Iuris. The different ways chosen for the material 'presentification' of the body of Law became the basis of contrastive 'juridical aesthetics' and moulded conflicting spaces for the ritual administration of rules and judgements.
