Institutes of Roman Law
The personal servitude of using and taking the fruits of another's property, discussed as to its modes of creation and transfer.
Usufruct can only be created by surrender.
In slaves and other animals usufruct can be created even on provincial soil by surrender before a magistrate.
These modes of creating usufruct are confined to estates in Italian soil, for only these estates can be conveyed by mancipation or judicial surrender.
The Rights of War and Peace
A Roman legal right of use and enjoyment, distinguished from the right discussed
But it is necessary to remark, that when it is said the enjoyment of the profits of consumable things, whose property is transferred, in the use, to the borrower or trustee, was introduced by an act of the senate, this does not properly come under the notion of Usufruct, which certainly in its original signification answers to no such right.
