Beginning in 1792, bulletin laws with the text of legislation and goverment regulations were published for circulation to army units and villages with 2,000 or more occupants. The annotator, Maigne Sauzinet, was a Riom jurist. His extensive interpretative annotations include 26 additional leaves with alphabetical tables and notes elaborating on sections of the laws and referencing later statutes. (The latest date in the notes is 1813.) Together, they provide an in-depth look at the evolution and reception of the law in the Napoleonic era.
