Smits
No full textDutch family of organbuilders. Born to a well-to-do Roman Catholic family, Nicolaas Klaas Smits (b. Reek, North Brabant, 1 April 1791; d. 19 Oct 1831) carried out maintenance work on organs in Maasland, South Holland, from around 1810 on. His brother (Franciscus) Frans Cornelius Smits I (b. 20 Aug 1802; d. 28 March 1876) was appointed organist at Reek, where his brother subsequently built a new organ (1829). In that year, Frans I joined the workshop, continuing it after his brother's death. The brothers were self-taught, having gleaned their knowledge from examining organs in the area and from François BEDOS DE CÉLLES'S 'L'art du facteur d'orgues' (1766-78) and Jan van Heurn's 'De orgelmaaker' (1804-5). Frans I brought the business to prosperity, building a few dozen organs between 1831 and 1865

Coding Legal Complexity
No full textIt is commonly assumed that the size of a country’s population has nothing to do with the structure of the law. The law of larger jurisdictions is supposedly just as simple or complex as the law of smaller jurisdictions. However, this hypothesis has never been empirically tested. This is surprising in view of the fact that a thriving field of research in linguistics deals with the relationship between language complexity and the size of the speech community. This research shows that grammatical complexity correlates negatively with the size of the speech community: the bigger the community, the simpler the grammar. The aim of this paper, an experiment in numerical comparative law, is to investigate whether the same is true for the law. The question that it seeks to answer is whether smaller jurisdictions have a more complex law than bigger jurisdictions and, if so, how this could be explained. The material is drawn from both constitutional law and private law
Phylogeny of the Unpaid Seller’s Right to Vindicate Goods / Een fylogenetische analyse van de prijsbetalingsregel
No full textThis contribution applies computational phylogenetics, the quantitative study of the evolutionary history of organisms, to the vexed history of the price payment-rule. This rule makes the transfer of movable property dependent on the buyer’s payment of the price. The study provides a dataset of 56 variations of the price payment-rule from 41 different jurisdictions drafted between the years 150 and 2006. Using Mesquite, these variations are quantified as phylogenetic trees and subsequently analysed to draw conclusions about their common history. The study is set up as a test study to explore the potential of computational phylogenetics in law. /
Deze bijdrage tracht om nieuw licht te werpen op de omstreden geschiedenis van de prijsbetalingsregel. Hiertoe wordt een nieuwe methode beproefd . Deze methode is gebaseerd op kwantitatieve fylogenetica, de computationele studie van de evolutie van organismen. De studie identificeert 56 varianten van de prijsbetalingsregel uit 41 verschillende jurisdicties uit de periode tussen 150 en 2006. Met gebruikmaking van Mesquite worden vier fylogenetische stambomen gepresenteerd op basis waarvan conclusies worden getrokken over hun mate van verwantschap. De studie is opgezet als een experiment om het potentieel van de computationele fylogenetica te testen
