Everything about Charles Dumoulin totally explained
Charles Dumoulin (
1500 –
1566),
French jurist, was born in
Paris.
He began practice as an advocate before the
parlement of Paris. Dumoulin turned
Calvinist, and when the persecution of the
Protestants began he went to
Germany, where for a long time he taught law at
Strasbourg,
Besançon and elsewhere. He returned to France in 1557.
Dumoulin had, in
1552, written
Commentaire sur l'édit du roi Henri II sur les petites dates, which was condemned by the Sorbonne, but his
Conseil sur le fait du concile de Trente created a still greater stir, and aroused against him both the
Catholics and the Calvinists. He was imprisoned by order of the
parlement until
1564.
It was as a jurist that Dumoulin gained his great reputation, being regarded by his contemporaries as the prince of jurisconsults. His remarkable erudition and breadth of view had a considerable effect on the subsequent development of French law. He was a bitter enemy of feudalism, which he attacked in his
Defendis (Paris, 1539).
Other important works were his commentaries on the customs of Paris (Paris, 1539, 1554;
Frankfort, 1575;
Lausanne, 1576), valuable as the only commentary on those in force in 1510, and the
Extricatio labyrinthi dividui et individui, a treatise on the law of
surety.
A collected edition of Dumoulin's works was published in Paris in 1681 (5 vols.)
