The paper focuses primarily on the votum captandae mortis: that is to say the despicable hope of death of the de cuius which – according to the traditional thinking – Roman jurists believed would have been induced by the agreements as to succession. After making a mention of the problematic profiles of this ratio today, the research dwells on the few ancient sources that associate agreements as to succession with a violation of the boni mores, trying to show that the declarations of invalidity of the agreements de hereditate viventis didn’t steam from the mere ‘votum corvinum’.

Abstract
The paper focuses primarily on the votum captandae mortis: that is to say the despicable hope of death of the de cuius which – according to the traditional thinking – Roman jurists believed would have been induced by the agreements as to succession. After making a mention of the problematic profiles of this ratio today, the research dwells on the few ancient sources that associate agreements as to succession with a violation of the boni mores, trying to show that the declarations of invalidity of the agreements de hereditate viventis didn’t steam from the mere ‘votum corvinum’.File in questo prodotto:
