Article I. On Donations in General

- Donation in general is the gratuitous cession of some thing in favor of another. It can be made chiefly in two ways, namely among the living and by testament, as we shall say in the following article. But now it occurs that we must speak: 1. concerning the conditions of donation; 2. concerning certain cases in which donations, although valid, do not obtain their full effect.
