For today's practitioners, the history of the judicial functions of consulates is far more colourful and obscure than modern consular law might suggest. Take, for instance, Consul Annibale de Rossetti in Egypt, who had to arbitrate a lawsuit between two German merchants and was completely overwhelmed. De Rossetti neither knew German nor was he familiar with the law he was expected to apply. Modern consuls often react with disbelief at the fact that their predecessors acted not only as judges, but also as regulatory authorities and bailiffs. This volume brings together contributions on the history of the legal roles and functions of consulates, spanning from America to China and from their origins in the Middle Ages to the modern consulate.

Contributors are: Marcella Aglietti, Eleonora Angella, Arnaud Bartolomei, Thibault Bechini, Giorgio Ennas, Ana Belem Fern�ndez Castro, Juliette Fran�oise, Laura Galoppini, Sacha Gauthier Olssy, Thomas Gidney, Berna Kamay-Ulusay, Jessica Marglin, C�dric Quertier, Lars Regula, Victor Simon, J�rg Ulbert, and Dominique Val�rian.

L'histoire des fonctions judiciaires des consulats est bien plus riche et obscure pour les praticiens d'aujourd'hui que ne le laisse penser le droit consulaire moderne. Par exemple, lorsque le consul Annibale de Rossetti, en �gypte, dut trancher un litige entre deux commer�ants allemands, il fut d�pass� par la situation. De Rossetti ne connaissait ni l'allemand, ni le droit qu'il �tait cens� appliquer. Les consuls modernes r�agissent souvent avec incr�dulit� en apprenant que leurs pr�d�cesseurs exer�aient � la fois les fonctions de juges, d'autorit�s r�glementaires et d'huissiers de justice. De volume r�unit des contributions portant sur l'histoire des r�les et fonctions juridiques des consulats, de l'Am�rique � la Chine, depuis leurs origins au Moyen �ge jusqu'au consulat moderne.
