Synopsis

Excerpt from Guide to the Law and Legal Literature of Argentina, Brazil and Chile

This is the fourth in the series of guides to foreign law published by the Library of Congress. Its immediate prede cessor was the Guide to the law and legal literature Of Spain, in which country the foundations were developed, if not laid, for the institutions of private law of the Spanish American republics. The great source book of Brazilian law, the C odigo Philippino, was promulgated in 1603 during the time when the governments of Spain and Portugal were united under one sovereign. The common origin of Latin American pri vate law in the Roman law has been especially manifested in Brazil, where until January. 1, 1916, no civil code had been enacted. On that date Brazil joined her sister republics by promulgating what is admitted to be the most scientific and modern Civil code Of Latin America.
