Summary "Nouveau Code du Duel: Histoire, Législation, Droit Contemporain" by Le Comte Du Verger Saint-Thomas is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the complex topic of dueling, exploring its historical origins, legal framework, and societal implications, particularly examining how notions of honor and violence have evolved over time. It aims to address the ongoing issue of dueling in a civilized society, presenting a systematic approach to understanding and potentially regulating this practice. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for a thorough discourse on the duel, emphasizing its significance within the context of social and moral codes. The author introduces the reader to the historical prevalence of dueling as a means of resolving personal disputes, despite its legal prohibition. Through a reflective preface, he posits the necessity of establishing clear rules governing duels to mitigate their often tragic consequences, arguing that such regulations would serve as a safeguard for individuals bound by the honor code. As the narrative progresses, it promises to dissect not only the historical roots of dueling but also its legislative treatment across different periods, thereby laying the groundwork for a comprehensive examination that interlinks legal doctrine and social ethics.
