Infos

This book provides a comparative legal analysis of the civil codes in force in Tunisia, Morocco, and Mauritania. The book also imparts insight into the work and life of the principal author of the Tunisian code— a Jewish man of Tunisian origin named David Santillana.

---

This book examines the Santillana Codes, legal instruments which form a distinct class of uniquely African civil codes and which are still in force today in a legal arc that extends from the Maghreb to the Sahel. Stigall presents the history of Santillana's seminal legislative effort and provides a comparative analysis of the substance of those codes, illuminating commonalities between Islamic law and European legal systems.
