The first edition of 'Vlaemsch Recht' was published in 1664 by Maximiliaen Graet in Ghent, with a ten-year privilege. The author, the Ghent legal scholar Laurens Van den Hane (1617-1683), prepared a new edition but without warning, the Flemish Council granted the print privilege to Michiel Knobbaert in Antwerp on December 1, 1673. There is also another edition described as 'third edition,' published in Ghent by François d'Erckel and Michiel Maes in 1676.
We are including here the little-known but very comprehensive and practical index (1780) of all decrees with subsequent additions and corrections!
