Place / Publisher:
Jehan Petit (Johannes Parvus) / Paris / 1519
Description:
This work is a collection of ancient legal texts and legal schoolbooks from the Roman Empire. It contains the most important legal writings that were produced before the great legal reform of Emperor Justinian (around 533 AD).
The book spine is artfully divided by genuine, raised cords into six panels. The panels are adorned with elegant blind- or gold-impressed floral centers (lily motifs / Fleur-de-Lys) and fine ruling. The printer’s mark shows the well-known coat of arms of Jean Petit with the heraldic lilies of France and his initials “I P”.
In the second field there is a later, contrasting red spine label with neat gold lettering: “M. Fabius Quintilianus”
Condition:
Leather binding worn and bumped, superficially somewhat cracked. Title and the last 3 leaves with professionally repaired margins. Some pages with old marginal notes and underlinings in the text. Paper slightly browned and sporadically foxed. (See photos)
Overall a good copy of the rare title.
