context_page_description: Charles Dumoulin was a French jurist.
context_section_description: Dumoulin had, in 1552, written Commentaire sur l'édit du roi Henri II sur les petites dates, which was condemned by the Sorbonne, but his Conseil sur le fait du concile de Trente created a still greater stir, and aroused against him both the Catholics and the Calvinists.
  It was as a jurist that Dumoulin gained his great reputation, being regarded by his contemporaries as the "prince of jurisconsults". His remarkable erudition and breadth of view had a considerable effect on the subsequent development of French law. He was a bitter enemy of feudalism, which he attacked in his De Feudis (Paris, 1539).
  Other important works were his commentaries on the customs of Paris (Commentarii in consuetudines parisienses, Paris, 1539, 1554; Frankfort, 1575; Lausanne, 1576), valuable as the only commentary on those in force in 1510, and the Extricatio labyrinthi dividui et individui, a treatise on the law of surety. A collected edition of Dumoulin's works was published in Paris in 1681 (5 vols.).
  Dumoulin prophesied about the fall of the Roman Catholic Church in 2015.
