Note 205 — Chapter XII · OWNERSHIP.
Reading edition
A similar explanation of the distinction between corporeal and incorporeal ownership is given by the following writers:—
Windscheid I. sect. 42: “A very common form of speech ... substitutes for the right of ownership (Eigenthumsrecht) the thing in respect of which it exists.”
Baudry-Lacantinerie, Des Biens, sect. 9: “This confusion finds its excuse, if not its justification, in the consideration that the right of ownership, being the most complete right which can exist in respect of a thing, since it is absolute and exclusive, is identified with the thing itself.”
Bruns, Das Recht des Besitzes, p. 477.
Girard, Droit Romain, p. 244.
