Abstract
This article discusses some aspects of the path followed by the enlightened and liberal legal literature produced within the framework of the renovation of juridical thought that accompanied the Colombian state-building process in the nineteenth century. It aims to identify the foreign legal works that were frequently used, as well as the temporal spaces in which they predominated. It also aims to indicate some important aspects regarding how Colombian jurists received these works, such as: the editions used, the circulation of the works and the contents studied. Some of the first legal works, upon which the science of law in Colombia was founded, will also be addressed.Downloads
