The Book That Launched the German Historical School of
Jurisprudence. Written in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars and the
Congress of Vienna, the Vocation proposed a common legal code for
the newly liberated German states and attacked Thibaut's advocacy
of a code based on natural law. Though he aimed in part to improve
the administration of justice, Savigny hoped that a common legal
system would promote a larger goal: a spirit of unity among
Germans. Frederick Carl von Savigny 1779-1861] was an important
German jurist and scholar of Roman law. A principal member of the
historical school of jurisprudence, he had a keen interest in its
role in the subsequent development of European law. He is known for
the influential Von Savigny's Treatise on Possession; Or the Jus
Possessionis of the Civil Law (1803) and his System of Modern Roman
Law (1840-1849), an eight-volume study of contemporary legal
systems derived on Roman law. CONTENTS I. Introduction II. Origin
