FAQs

Is the paper really printed in the year 1812? And what is its size?

Yes, the paper fragment is printed in the year 1812 during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. The paper comes from an incomplete and damaged book version containing the Code Napoleon printed in the year 1812. The size of the paper fragment is: +- 2,5 x 2,0 inches / +- 6,5 x 5,0 cm. The other info sheet with the dates and other information is of course modern printed paper.

Why does every paper fragment look different?

What was the Code Napoléon (The Napoleonic Code)?

The Code Napoleon, the Napoleonic Code, officially the Civil Code of the French (French: Code civil des Français; simply referred to as Code civil), is the French civil code established during the French Consulate period in 1804. The Code was complete by 1801, after intensive scrutiny by the Council of State, but was not published until 21 March 1804. It was promulgated as the “Civil Code of the French” (Code civil des Français), but was renamed “the Napoleonic Code” (Code Napoléon) from 1807 to 1815, and once again after the Second French Empire.

What is the size of the protective, double sided transparant, acrylic “Time Capsule”?
