    AN ESSAY ON CRIMINAL LAW IN THE PROVINCES OF THE LOMBARD-VENETIAN KINGDOM

    Albertini, Antonio Costantino. Del diritto penale vigente nelle provincie lombardo venete. Libri tre del consigliere Antonio Albertini. Venezia: a spese degli editori Milesi-Antonelli co' torchi della tipografia di Alvisopoli, 1824.

    8vo (228x142 mm), half leather binding; pp. 479, [1].

    The Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia (1815-1866) (Italian: Regno Lombardo-Veneto, German: Königreich Lombardo–Venetien), commonly called the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom, was a constituent land (crown land) of the Austrian Empire. It was created in 1815 by resolution of the Congress of Vienna in recognition of the Austrian House of Habsburg-Lorraine's rights to Lombardy and the former Republic of Venice after the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, proclaimed in 1805, had collapsed.
    Administratively the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia comprised two independent governments (Gubernien) in its two parts (Lombardy and Venetia), which officially were declared separate crown lands in 1851. Lombardy was annexed to Sardinia in 1859 and the kingdom ceased to exist when the rest of its territory was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy in 1866.
    The Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia was first ruled by Emperor Francis I from 1815 to his death in 1835. His son Ferdinand I ruled from 1835 to 1848. In Milan on 6 September 1838 he became the last king to be crowned with the Iron Crown of Lombardy. The crown was subsequently brought to Vienna after the loss of Lombardy in 1859, but was restored to Italy after the loss of Venetia in 1866.

    RARE TEXTBOOK ON ROMAN LAW IN ORIGINAL GERMAN LANGUAGE

    Mackeldey, Ferdinand. Lehrbuch des heutigen Romischen Rechts von Dr. Ferdinand Mackeldey, [...] von Dr. Konrad Franz Rokhirt, [...]. Erster- [Zweiter-] Band. Giessen: Druck und Verlag von Georg Friedrich Heyer, 1838.

    8vo (226x136 mm), editorial paper binding; pp. IV, 292; XIV, 740.

    The Austrian Empire (or simply: Austria) (in Austrian - German: Kaiserthum Oesterreich) was created out of the realms of the Habsburgs by proclamation in 1804. 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.

    Ferdinand Mackeldey (1784-1834), Professor of Law at the University of Bonn, became famous for this textbook, which was first published in 1814, the most popular text on Roman Law in the first half of the 19th century. Its clarity and vividness ensured for a Europe-wide distribution, almost in all languages.
