ABSTRACT

The legal systemology enacted by comparative law gives shapes to nomic morphologies, orderly disposed, and offers the material translation of different forms of imaginations. Legal imagination has been also invoked to support other considerations that could be developed on a poietic-cognitive level. The stylistic story of English law was destined to be transformed: the physical evidence left by the wise men, who were studying and practising law, changed aspect and eventually renovated the way of coalescing past memories. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a bulk of innovations irrupted in the domain of the Inns of Court. An evolving propulsion in legal procedure inspired material changes in law’s substance and required a new way of textualisation, promoted and favoured, in turn, by a mechanical change in the mode of its conclusive production. In Robert Cover’s opinion, the culminating point of human history, its final and conclusive stage, seems to be immanentised.
