Edition of the Legislative Materials of the Saxon Civil Code of 1863/65

该项目旨在编写《萨克森王国民法典》(1864/65)立法材料的版本。《撒克逊民法典》在19世纪的民法史上具有重要意义，原因有三。首先，它是弗里德里希·卡尔·冯·萨维尼周围的早期“泛德克滕维斯主义”和19世纪中期的编纂浪潮之间的主要联系，这一浪潮导致了1896/1900年的德国民法典。例如，《撒克逊民法典》是德国第一部实施分离原则(“TrennungSprinzip”)和抽象原则(“AbstraktionSprinZip”)的民法典。其次，在1896/1900年《德国民法典》之前，它是19世纪在今天的德意志联邦共和国境内颁布的唯一一部民法典。第三，《撒克逊民法典》的手写立法材料几乎保存完好。其他民法典项目则不是这样，例如在巴伐利亚王国和黑森大公国。尽管这些手写立法材料意义非凡，但大部分保存在德累斯顿的手写立法材料尚未经过系统编辑。自德国统一以来，它们已经存在了一段时间。到目前为止，只有早期草案的碎片和立法委员会的记录可以通过一本关于创建《撒克逊民法典》的专著和其他一些研究来获得。该版本将手写材料与选定的印刷材料结合起来，并按段落进行分类。这样，19世纪法律历史知识的一个相当大的空白就可以被填补。

The project aims at creating an edition of the legislative materials of the Civil Code of the Kingdom of Saxony (1864/65). The Saxon Civil Code is essentially important to the history of civil law in the 19th century for three reasons. First, it is the main link between the early "Pandektenwissenschaft" around Friedrich Carl von Savigny and the wave of codifications in the mid-19th century which led up to the German Civil Code of 1896/1900. For example, the Saxon Civil Code was the first German civil law codification that implemented the separation principle ("Trennungsprinzip") and the abstraction principle ("Abstraktionsprinzip"). Second, it was the only civil code to be enacted in the 19th century within today's borders of the Federal Republic of Germany prior to the German Civil Code of 1896/1900. Third, the handwritten legislative materials of the Saxon Civil Code are almost completely preserved. This is not the case with other civil code projects, e. g. in the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Grand Duchy of Hesse. Despite their eminent significance, the handwritten legislative materials, archived mostly in Dresden, have not yet been systematically edited. Since the German reunification they have been available for some time. So far, only fragments of early drafts and of the legislative commission's records have been have available through a monograph concerned with the creation of the Saxon Civil Code and through a few other studies. The edition is set to combine the handwritten materials with selected printed materials and sort them by paragraphs. This way, a considerable gap in the knowledge of legal history of the 19th century can be filled.
