Summary
While in German law only last wills are voidable for mistake, French and Austrian law provide for the voidability of donations as well. Luca Wimmer traces the origin of these provisions in Roman law and in the philosophy of Aristoteles and Thomas Aquinas before subjecting modern German law to a critical review based on his historical and comparative findings.
