Exceptionally beautifully bound copy of this standard work on Roman legal practice; definitive edition of the oft-reprinted work. First published in 1583, this is the second edition, revised, expanded and with a dedication to Heinrich von Rantzau.
Brisson (1531-91), president of the parliament of Paris, was the first scholar to systematically collect all expressions of Roman legal and political writing.
Slightly bronwed throughout; title page with erased note of owenership. Elegant binding with insignificant traces of worming to front cover, otherwise perfect.
