Jassuda Bédarride – Traité du Dol et de la Fraude en Matière Civile et Commerciale. 4 Volumes. Fourth Edition. Paris, Chevalier-Marescq et Cie., 1887. In French.

This monumental treatise by the distinguished French jurist Jassuda Bédarride is regarded as one of the nineteenth century's leading works on fraud, deceit and defects of consent in civil and commercial law. Published in four volumes in Paris in 1887, this fourth and expanded edition, revised by H. F. Rivière, represents the definitive version of a work that became a cornerstone of continental legal scholarship.

Drawing upon the French Civil Code, Roman law, extensive case law and classical legal doctrine, Bédarride provides a comprehensive analysis of fraud, deceit, simulation, contractual nullity, creditor protection, civil liability, commercial transactions and the legal consequences of fraudulent conduct. The work's systematic methodology and scholarly depth made it an essential reference for judges, lawyers and legal scholars throughout Europe and Latin America.

Today it remains an important historical source for academic institutions, research libraries and collectors of rare legal books, representing one of the most significant nineteenth-century treatises on civil and commercial fraud.
