Ultimate edition of main Foligni's treatises, regarding long lease contracts, that was reprinted until late 19th century.
The work deals with all the aspects regarding the long lease contract (also called, with the juridical term, emphyteusis), as to say the contract granting the use of a land for a long period receiving as payment a part of the profit (money or natural products) gained by it. The work is presented as a practical book, structured under the form of quaestiones (questions) with their punctual responses. An alphabetical index is added, to easily find the needed questions.
Francesco Foligni (died 1647), a lawyer and noble man from Foligno, was also apostholic protonotary and general curate of the cathedral of his town.
Provenance: Some not identified contemporary inscriptions at title-page.
