Chapter IX Coverage Table
No cases are assigned under this chapter. It is the short bridging chapter that sets up the ones that follow: Art. 712 lists occupation, intellectual creation, law, donation, succession, and tradition in consequence of certain contracts, with prescription supplying a further mode.
The distinction the professor is setting up here is the one that pays off in Chapter X (Occupation) and Chapter XI (Donation) — occupation is an original mode, acquiring ownership over a thing that had no owner, while donation and tradition are derivative, passing an existing owner's title along with its defects. Nothing is digested here, but the classification is recitation material.
