| Summary: | About what it is usual to call the “legal humanism”, one of the most delicate points to be established is to know if the defined program, from the beginning of the 16th century, by a Guillaume Budé, was able to lead to a transformation of the science of law (sources and methods). The answer is uncertain because the legal humanism, even in France, did not supplant at once the ancient doctrines and sometimes had to compose with them. The last French bartolists all left plentiful works and especially very diversified, often marked with a certain gigantic size stretching out towards the encyclopaedism. We shall retain here, by priority otherwise exclusively, only those who made the object of detailed, only studies to supply material in a reflection on the usage of sources, and thus, strictly speaking, on their legal and non-legal culture, namely Guillaume Benoît (1455-1516), Jean Pyrrhus d’Angleberme (ca. 1480-1541), Barthélemy de Chasseneuz (1480-1541), André Tiraqueau (1488-1558) and Charles Du Moulin (1500-1566), all been born between 1455 and 1500.
