The Influence of Books of Authority on the Modern Law Practice and Jurisprudence

我们主要做了两个方面的研究，并取得了一些成果：1.黑石《评论》部分版本间分页差异的研究与解决。第一版的分页发生了较早且较大的变化，在第一卷和第四卷中。学者们认为，明星分页版本解决了分页差异的问题。但是，实际上有两种类型的带星号(^*)的分页。有人说，第12版是明星分页版的原版。但我们发现这不是真的，甚至在一些明星分页版本之间的分页也存在着很大的差异。因此，我们对一些典型版本的《评论》的页码做了一些对比表。2.《权威著作》对现代法律实践和司法的影响。我们研究了两部著名的法律词典，即《布莱克法律词典》第一版(1891年)和巴伦丁法律词典(1948年)，引用或引用了黑石《评论》中的多少个词和短语。我们发现，每本词典大约有1500个例句，其中大部分是英美法和法学中最基本的法律术语和概念。我们可以说，权威书籍(黑石的“评论”)对现代法律实践和法学有着巨大的影响，甚至在今天，甚至在未来也是如此。

We had two main researches and have got results.1.The research and solution of the discrepancies in paginations among some editions of Blackstone's "Commentaries."The pagination of the 1st edition had changed early and largely, in the volume 1 and 4. Scholars have believed that the star pagination editions have resolved the problem of the differences among paginating. But, in fact there are two types of the pagination with star mark (^*). It has been said that the 12th edition is the original paginations of the star pagination editions. But we have found it is not true, and there are a lot of the discrepancies even in the paginations among some star pagination editions. So we have made some contrastive tables of the paginations of some typical editions of "Commentaries." We believe this is the first result and is very useful in the academic field of Anglo-American law.2.The Influence of Books of Authority on the Modern Law Practice and Jurisprudence.We have researched that how many words and phrases in Blackstone's "Commentaries" are cited or referred in two of the famous Law Dictionaries, that is, Black's Law Dictionary 1st edition (1891) and Ballentine's Law Dictionary (1948). We have found there are about 1500 examples in each dictionary, and most of them are in the most fundamental legal terms and conceptions in Anglo-American law and jurisprudence. We may say that the books of authority (Blackstone's "Commentaries") have the enormously large influence on modern law practice and jurisprudence, even today and probably in future.
