Postio, Ludovico. Additamenta ad Tractatum De Subhastatione [...]. Genevae, Sumptibus Ioannis Antonii & Samuelis De Tournes, 1670.
2 volumes bound togheter, folio (354x213 mm), contemporary stiff vellum, five raised bands spine, with handwritten decorations and titles, pp. [8], 446, [2, blanks], 284, [32]. Red and black titlepage, with big xylographic printer device representing a crown, decorations and headletters at preliminary leaves.
Very rare edition of Postio’s treatise on judicial sales.
In the treatise all the features of an auction are deeply described, as well as the juridical circumstances that force that solution, for example the arrearage. Beside that, he lists all the rules that regulate the sale and the sentences, Decisiones , pronounced in the past, that could represent a reference collection for specific cases. The Decisiones have their own title page dated (1670), but are, for all practical purposes, part of the second volume, following the page numbering.
Ludovico Postio (XVII century) was a famous jurist from Perugia, expert in Civil Law. He was deputy in Ascoli and Macerata, as well as magistrate and auditor at the Holy Rota court. He was also auditor at the Bologna Rota, where he gathered all the sentences in an important collection of Decisiones .
