MOTTO:

1. Le comparatisme est véritablement analytique seulement sur le terrain fondamental des

sources sapientogenes de tous les systèmes de droit (Valerius M.C.)

2. Ignea quin etiam superum pater arma recondit, / Et Ganimedeae repetens convivia mensae

/ Pocula sumit ea qua gessit fulmina dextra.

Many scholars of contemporary European legal phenomena assimilate

jurisprudentialism almost exclusively to common law as a family of law. There are other

families of law which, directly or indirectly, establish in the jurisprudence of judges formal

sources worthy of comparison with law or custom; (In which the doctrine gives it the

meaning of "jurisprudential art" or Fîkîh, Fiqh, a divided art, grosso modo, on five theoretical

levels: Fard, debts, Mandup, recommendations, Mubah, tacit acceptance, Makruh,

Immoralities, Haram, Offenses); Also some subfamilies of traditional law systems, from

societies that focus their sapiens' spirit of norms rather on the judge's mind than on the

legislator's vision.

The theoretical premise that I leave is a bit different, probably because of the doctrinal

"deformations" generated by cantoning too much in the sapiential space of Roman law, but

also in current European law.

Pax Europaea it is a notable resultant of the beneficial comparatism in it’s way of path,

method, of instrument of transatlantic juridical acculturation, that succeed to achieve the great

normative and institutional convergence, that generate another organic structure of the

European law, fixed upon jusnaturalist principles and on the defeatism of the pre-war ultra-

positivism. This happened both on nomothetic plan, and on hermeneutical one, as flashes

with ardor professor René David.

The European competition law, veritable guardian of the

European peace is, totally, the best exemplum, it is an argument per se (secundum ponam

casum...). Comparatism, volunteer juridical acculturation, rational and organicism are, as a

rule, works of peace, of the spiral evolution status, in colimason, trying to fix the nomothetic

fractures that intervenes in the history squeals.

I’ll start with a categorical affirmation: what we call European Law today, that

dominates the European jurisprudences, as well as the national ones that stand below the
