From the Celebrated Four-language Edition of the Nakaz. A major
document of the Enlightenment, the Nakaz, or Instruction, composed
by Catherine the Great served to guide the assembly summoned in
1766 to draft a new code of laws for the Russian Empire. Drawn from
Montesquieu, Rousseau, and other Enlightenment thinkers, the Nakaz
condemned torture and capital punishment and endorsed such
principles as the equality of all before the law. Published in the
principal European tongues, it proved to be a statement to the
world as much as a practical legal text. The present edition
contains the Russian, French, German, Latin, and two contemporary
English translations, biographical notes, and a bibliography.
William E. Butler is the John Edward Fowler Distinguished Professor
of Law and Director of the Vinogradoff Institute at the
Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law and Emeritus
Professor of Comparative Law at University College London;
Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the
Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.
