Antonii Perezii - Institutiones Imperiales - 1689

The Imperial Institutes by Antonius Perezius, published in 1689, are a legal work that sits within the tradition of legal education founded on Roman law. Inspired by Justinian’s Institutes, the text offers an orderly and pedagogical presentation of the fundamental principles of civil law, aimed above all at students and practitioners. Perezius seeks to clearly expose the essential notions — persons, property, obligations, and actions — while adapting them to the legal context of the modern era. The work thus combines fidelity to the Roman sources with a concern for systematization, typical of the legal thought of the seventeenth century, where imperial law is regarded as a rational and universal foundation for the training of jurists.
