Der Code civil in der Rechtsprechung der Freien Stadt Krakau (1815–1846). Zwischen französischer und österreichischer Rechtskultur. Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs|Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs Band 2 / 2020|
No full textSelected examples from the jurisprudence of the courts of the Free City of Krakow prove that the application of the Code civil was often based on an interpretation of regulations which did not meet the intention and content of the French codification. On the one hand, the courts, through an original interpretation of legal norms, aimed to deliberately circumvent French law in order to weaken its rigor in relation to the rights of women or illegitimate children. On the other hand, the erroneous interpretation of the law showed that the courts were not always able to abandon the way of legal thinking which corresponded to the assumptions of Austrian legislation, but differed from the systemic regulations of the Code civil. An important role in the control of courts over the application of French law was played by the Faculty of Law of the Jagiellonian University. At the request of the parties to court proceedings it checked the compliance with substantive and formal law of two rulings of different court instances on the same content. In the opinions issued, the Law Faculty instructed the courts in such fundamental matters as e.g. the form of legal action for evidentiary purposes (ad probationem)

No full textThe present paper deals with the interpretation of the antichambre carrée, the room that constitutes a typical component of the ‘standard’ pyramid temples of the Old Kingdom (from Sahura onwards) and Middle Kingdom. The paper’s main scope is to question the broadly accepted theory on the meaning of the room’s decoration, namely that it evokes the sed-festival, an act of regeneration of the king’s reign. For this purpose, the thorough examination of the antichambre carrée’s decorative layout – assessing all known examples, with the focus not only on figural representations but also on the text – is combined with data obtained from related sources, including the Djoser shrine court within his step-pyramid complex, the Palermo Stone, the depictions of the sedfestival in Niuserra’s sun temple at Abu Ghurab and, finally, the ‘birth cycle’ of Hatshepsut’s temple at Deir el-Bahari. The major conclusion emerging from this comparison is that while the main message of the antichambre carrée is indeed the manifestation of the king’s rule over two parts of the country, the ritual acts on display could have taken place in royal ceremonies other than the sed-festival, the prime candidate being the ‘Appearance of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt’, an event that seems to have commemorated the act of coronation
