Olim (collection of documents)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Les olim , tome I, 1839

The Latin word Olim ( German  once ) is used to designate the seven oldest registers in the collection of documents of the French Supreme Court , the Parlement .

The systematic summary of the judgments passed in Parliament began in 1254, after the return of King Louis IX. from the crusade to Egypt . As a rule, the final separation of the parliament from the royal council ( curia regis ) as an independent judicial body is set. The collection includes all judgments of the parliament up to the reign of Philip V in 1318 and thus represents a primary document on the history and development of the royal jurisprudence in France in the 13th century.

Since the 14th century, the first seven registers of the document collection have been called "Olim" because one of them begins with the words: Olim homies de Baiona ... (Once upon a time the men from Bayonne ...) . The first editor of the Olim known by name was the legal scholar Jean de Montluçon, who took the post of "Parliamentary Clerk" from 1257 to 1273.
