Florencio García Goyena – Concordances, Explanatory Notes and Commentaries on the Spanish Civil Code – 4 Volumes

Florencio García Goyena's Concordances, Explanatory Notes and Commentaries on the Spanish Civil Code, published in Madrid in 1852, is one of the most influential legal works in nineteenth-century Spanish civil law. Issued in four volumes, it presents the celebrated draft of the Spanish Civil Code together with extensive concordances, legislative explanations, and scholarly commentary.

The work compares the proposed Civil Code with Roman law, traditional Spanish legislation, and the leading European civil codes of the period, particularly the French Civil Code. Its historical analysis and doctrinal depth made it a cornerstone of civil law scholarship and an important influence on later codifications throughout Europe and Latin America.

An essential acquisition for legal historians, civil law scholars, research libraries, and collectors of rare nineteenth-century legal literature.
