This is a text that was written as part of a commentary series of the "New Library of Property" (NBE). The NBE is part of the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 294 "Structural Change of Property". The aim of the commentary series is to make classical texts that deal with the question of property accessible to a politically and academically interested public. The commentaries are intended to provide a historically critical and problem-oriented introduction to the works.
