    Title page printed in red and black, engraved portrait of the author.

    Second edition of Codex Fabrianus, printed in the same year of the first one that was published in Geneve (Switzerland), but lacking (for censorship) the first leaf (De summa Trinitate) containing a list of punishments for the heretics.

    Antoine Favre, baron of Pérouges (5 October 1557 – 1624) was a Savoisian nobleman and jurist. Favre was born in Bourg-en-Bresse. After studies in Paris and Turin, he practiced law in Chambéry. He was a member of the Savoyard court there from 1585 onwards, and its president from 1610 onwards.
    His principal scholarly work is the Codex Fabrianus definitionum forensium (1609), a report of the decisions of his court organized after the Justinian Code. Favre's other research, conjectures about the Justinian code in which he endeavors to separate the Justinian insertions from the classical Roman texts, is still valued by scholars today.

    THE ITALIAN EDITION OF CONSTANT'S COMMENTARY TO FILANGIERI'S SCIENCE OF LEGISLATION

    Constant, Benjamin. Comento [sic!] sulla scienza della legislazione di G. Filangeri [sic!] scritto dal signor Beniamino Constant. Prima traduzione italiana. Quarta edizione. Capolago: Tipografia Elvetica, 1838.

    8vo, contemporary half calf on marbled paper, orange label and gilt-lettered title at spine, pp. 352.

    Fourth Italian edition of Constant's commentary on Filangieri's Scienza della Legislazione.

    The «Science of Legislation» by Filangieri is a cornerstone of the legal, economic and political thinking of Italian and European Enlightenment. The work, published originally from 1780 in seven volumes (Naples, Raimondiana) had a great international echo, with translations in English, French, German and Spanish. Founded on a rigorous codification of the laws and a progressive reform of the criminal procedure, the work of Filangieri, influenced by Vico and Giannone as Montesquieu, also gave a new formulation of the concept of crime: «Not all actions contrary to the laws are crimes, not those who practice them are criminals. The violation of the law, must be accompanied by a desire to violate it».

    The treatise, which also constituted one of the models of Benjamin Franklin and some of the other fathers of the American Constitution, was placed on the Index of Forbidden Books in 1784 for his ideas of reform and its harsh attacks on ecclesiastical privileges.

    Palgrave: «Filangieri was one of the most important writers on economics in the latter years of the last century. He followed no leader, standing between the physiocratic and mercantilist theory. His works are thus the prelude to a historical system of social legislation».

It was a multinational empire and one of the world's great powers. Proclaimed in response to the First French Empire, it overlapped with the Holy Roman Empire until the latter's dissolution in 1806. It included in its territory the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia. The Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 elevated Hungary's status within the Austrian Empire, creating a new dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary.

    Scarce Giunti’s edition of the important Gambiglioni’s commentary on Justinian's «Institutiones».

    In the same period in which the reorganization of the law in the Pandette was started, Justinian asked the jurists Trebonianus, Teofilo e Doroteo to create a manual that summarized all the items of Roman Law to be used by students in the Empire. That book, the Institutiones, remained in the centuries as a cornerstone of the matter for its completeness and clarity, and it was, for that reasons, utilized by scholars as a skeleton on which to structure their own commentaries.

    Angelo Gambiglioni named l'Aretino (m. 1465 ca.) was an Italian jurist and magistrate, teacher of law both at Bologna and Ferrara universities. He wrote many consilia and other law treatises as the famous De Maleficiis (1472), the Tractatus de criminibus (1476) and De testamentibus (1486).

    THE FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH LANGUAGE OF JUSTINIAN'S PANDECTS

    Hulot, Henry; Berthelot, Jean-François. Les Cinquante Livres du Digeste ou des Pandectes de l'Empereur Justinien. Metz, Behmer et Lamort, 1803-1804.

    6 volumes out of 7, 4to (265x215 mm), original blue paperboard, pp. 28, 597, [3, last blank] at first volume, pp. 603, [1] at second volume, pp. 552, [20] at third, pp. 607, [5, last blank] at forth, pp. 567, [9], at fifth, pp. 616, [4] at sixth. Untrimmed.

    First fundamental complete edition in French of Digestus and Pandectae.

    Henri Hulot started for the first time the French translation of Corpus Iuris Civilis , the source of the Roman Law, targeting to publish in 1764 the Institutiones : this never happened because of the aversion by his colleagues at the Paris Law University. The edition was printed only from 1803 thanking the perseverance of Behmer and Lamort.

    Henry Hulot (1732-1775) was a French Lawyer. When he decided to start the study of the roman law he was disbarred for having abandoned the forensic career. He spent his academic life translating the Digestus, translation never published during his life.

    Jean-François Berthelot (18-19th century) was lawyer in the same University of Hulot, advisor of the parliament and of the King as well as law teacher in Gard

    The present translation is still used in France and it was chosen as a reference work to be published on-line, Cfr. http://www.histoiredudroit.fr/ corpus_iuris_civilis.html.
