... You start to doubt the interpretation of Latin in German jurists S. XIX, and why not? in its natural law, too.
To [...] follow the order of their publication such that it typically had themes d'Ors, then add a 1945 article about the fictional character of the right of rhetoric (Boletim da Faculdade de Direito de Coimbra 21, 1945, pp. 337 ss.) where shows that the legal examples that appear in the Latin rhetorical sources are not real but fictional or invented precisely, but artificially, and often set in Greek circumstances. With this work, Don Alvaro came to express their skepticism _Que abandonó_ never facing one of the fashions of his time _y, in truth, I think that remains to Date_, as was to give great prestige to the theories ancient rhetoric in the development of classical law, which in 1926 had triggered the German philologist Johannes Stroux with a paper entitled Summum ius summa iniuria (Festschrift Speiser-Sarasin, 1926) on the Greek influence in the development of Roman legal science. Don Alvaro had met Stroux, who enjoyed a total authority as a philologist, but he realized that he was unable to speak Latin, despite his great learning in that language. He knew, for some opportunity, being in a German library frequented by Stroux _según narró_ me, right there appeared to visit a English philologist, also known priest of Don Alvaro, and whose name I forget, who expressed interest will be presented to Stroux, after news that her presence at the scene. The presentation, the participants realized that neither Stroux spoke Castilian, German or the priest, so the English civil law suggested that converse in Latin, assuming the Stroux Latinist could speak the language, just as the priest because of his status, coupled with a philologist. The priest agreed immediately and began the talk in Latin, but to his surprise and that of Don Alvaro, Stroux articulate and could scarcely stammer a few words, which only proved that for him the Latin was a language of texts and lacked practice, unlike the priest by virtue of his office as such. I narrate this story, because it seems fun, but not because he had some influence on the rejection of Don Alvaro to belief in a supposed influence of ancient rhetoric in the thinking of classical jurists.
