AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Author: Andrea Alciati (1492–1550), renowned jurist and Milanese humanist. Title: De verborum significatione (Libri IIII) with the commentaries on title XVI of Book L of the Digest. Publisher: Antoine Gryphius (famous for the renowned griffin printer mark visible at the center). Place and Year: Lyon (Lugduni), 1582 (M.D.LXXXII).
Presence of ancient handwritten annotations and a circular ex libris stamp on the frontispiece from a private library. Stains and foxing normal for the age.
Alciati’s legal works are historically important. Full parchment binding, probably seventeenth or eighteenth century, generally in good condition. Full stiff parchment with gold tooling directly on the spine, bearing author and abbreviated title (ALCIATI / DE / VERB. SIGNIF.). The parchment is well stretched, shows no serious breaks in the hinges nor evident losses, maintaining a warm and even coloration. The heading GRAECA VERBA LIS CAPITIBVS INTERIECTA, LATINE REDDITA. This is the appendix containing the translation from Greek to Latin of the legal terms cited in the text. The presence of this section, which ends with the word FINIS, is fundamental because it demonstrates that the volume includes its final critical apparatus. Page 62 of the commentary on Book L of the Digest, which closes regularly with the typographic border and the word FINIS. Below it appears the reference GRAE that exactly refers to the beginning of the subsequent Greek section. The block-cut of the book-block is compact, homogeneous, and free of noticeable woodworm galleries or burn marks. The parchment turned over on the boards is sound and the capitello (the reinforcing stitching at the head/tail of the spine) is firmly secured.
