Aagesen, Andrew)
Andreas Aagesen (1826 - 1879) was a Danish jurist.
He was educated for the law at Christiania (now Oslo) and Copenhagen, and interrupted his studies in 1848 to take part in the first Schleswig war, in which he served as the leader of a reserve battalion. In
1855 he became professor of jurisprudence at the University of
Copenhagen. In 1870 he was appointed a member of the commission
for drawing up a maritime and commercial code, and the navigation
law of 1882 is mainly his work. In 1879 he was elected a member
of the Landsting (Upper House of the Danish Parliament);
but it is as a teacher at the university
that he won his reputation. Among his numerous juridical
works may be mentioned: Bidrag til Læren om Overdragelse
af Ejendomsret, Bemærkinger om Rettigheder over Ting
(Copenhagen, 1866, 1871-1872); Fortegnelse over Retssamlinger,
Retslitteratur i Danmark, Norge, Sverige (Copenhagen,
1876). Aagesen was Carl Christian Hall's successor as lecturer on Roman law
at the university, and in this department his researches were
epoch-making. All his pupils were profoundly impressed by
his examination of the sources, his demonstration of his subject and his search after truth.
