Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HUGO, GUSTAV VON (17641844) , German jurist, was born at Lorrach in Baden, on the 23rd of November 1764. From the gymnasium at Carlsruhe he passed in 1782 to the university of Gottingen, where he studied law for three years. Having received the appointment of tutor to the prince of Anhalt-Dessau, he took his
doctor
 's degree at the university of
Halle
  in 1788. Recalled in this year to Gottingen as extraordinary professor of law, he became
ordinary
  professor in 1792. In the
preface
  to his Beitreige zur zivilistischen Biicherkenntnis der letzten vierzig Jahre (18281829) he gives a sketch of the
condition
  of the civil law teaching at Gottingen at that time. The Roman
Canon
  and German elements of the existing law were, without criticism or differentiation, welded into an ostensible whole for
practical
  needs, with the result that it was difficult to say whether historical truth or
practical
  ends were most prejudiced. One man handed on the inert
mass
  to the next in the same
condition
  as he had received it, new errors crept in, and even the best of teachers could not escape from the false method which had become traditional. These were the evils which Hugo set himself to combat, and he became the founder of that historical school of jurisprudence which was. continued and further developed by
Savigny
 . His magna opera are the Lehrbuch eines zivilistischen Kursus (7 vols., 17921821), in which his method is thoroughly worked out, and the Zivilistisches Magazin (6 vols., 1790-1837). He died at Gottingen on the 15th of September 1844.
For an account of his
life
  see Eyssenhardt, Zur Erinnerung an Gustav Hugo (Berlin, 184+0).
