17TH CENTURY MANUSCRIPT ON JUSTINIAN'S INSTITUTIONS
Anonymous. Institutiones Justiniani. Romae: Typis Mascardi, 1641 (but between the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th cenury).
8vo (188x128 mm), contemporary full parchment, with little four bands at spine, handwritten title at spine, head-bands (light traces of use, some little spots); pp. (2), 1268, (6 b.); printed title-page with handwritten title in a richly decorated frame with printer's data at bottom (Romae: Typis Mascardi, 1641); text in Latin.
A voluminous and interesting manuscript on juridical matters (Justinian institutions); it is a study copy, written probably on late 1600.
Provenance: Even if the book has no signature and no ownership inscription, it comes for sure from the private collection of the heirs of the Romanelli's family (a noble family, from the province of Rome, of landowners, priests, lawyers and administrators of ecclesiatical properties). Furthermore, it can be attributed to Pietro Angelo Romanelli (Domino Petro Angelo de Romanellis), since the handwriting of the text and the binding of the book are analogous to those of another manuscript written by this author offered in this auction.
