THE HYPERTEXTUAL CODES, a series directed by Giovanni Bonilini
and Massimo Confortini
(I Codici Ipertestuali, collana diretta da Giovanni Bonilini
e Massimo Confortini)
The publications:
For both authors and UTET, the decision to launch this innovative
experience with the most widely used legal Code meant accepting
an enormous editorial challenge. Preparing commentaries to almost
3,000 articles, and co-ordinating 200 authors of the most qualified
judicial schools in Italy, meant guaranteeing a balanced and rational
methodological approach, being careful not to change the nature
of a brief commen-tary, without, however, falling into the trap
of untidy styles and contents which so often this genre brings with
it. If the Directors and Authors have not fallen short of this com-mitment,
the task of co-ordinating each citation in the text (which has become
a link in the hypertextual version) with the material connected
to it has been enormous. Each sentence corresponds to the pronouncement
(always by ruling, and often with the inte-gral text of the sentence),
and each normative reference is accompanied by the entire legislative
text. The result is a wealth of tens of thousands of documents,
ALL connect-ed to the corresponding link which is in turn indicated
by a particular and very practi-cal colour code. A valuable instrument
that boast no rivals on the publishing market, capable of satisfying
all the needs of legal professionals: authors’ doctrines in synthetic
but complete form; access to all the materials that the author deemed
useful in dealing with the subject (laws and sentences); easy browsing
between articles, commentaries and documents cited. This is a chance
not to be missed: the first and only instrument designed and created
to satisfy all the professional’s needs.The need for informed com-mentary
on doctrine, legislation, and jurisprudence felt by legal professionals
is even more urgent when it is a question of basic instruments.
Among these are the Civil Code, the Civil Procedural Code, the Penal
Code and the Penal Procedural Code. In response to market demand
UTET has created a wholly new series: the Codici Ipertestuali. The
Codici Ipertestuali are brief commentaries edited by some of the
greatest specialists in the law field. They combine tvaluable printed
study with the addition an extraordinary useful com-pact disk containing
all the published material TOTALLY accessible in a hypertextual
ver-sion. This means that all the links contained in the commentaries
give direct access to sen-tences and provisions that the author
refers to. The CD interface is simple and user-friendly, and it
allows the least technologically aware reader to benefit from a
wealth of citations and references.
