Description from the seller
The Succession of Feudal Tenures and the Neo-Napolitan Regnum Tractatus by D. Pietro
Iordano Ursino (Peter Giordano Orsini). Neapolis, Typis Roberti Molli, MDCXXXIX (1639).
In-folio (30 x 21 cm), pp. (39), 256, 169, 118, (76) of index.
Title page restored (see photo). Copy in contemporary leather binding in parchment, with title impressed on the back.
A fundamental work on Neapolitan and Italian feudal law of the seventeenth century, drafted by jurist Pietro Giordano Orsini (or Ursino), an influential magistrate of the Sacro Regio Consiglio of Naples, an academic and high official under Spanish rule of Philip IV, to whom the work is dedicated.
The treatise analyzes feudal succession in depth, with particular attention to the Kingdom of Naples: primogeniture, rights of females relative to males, fideicommissaries, Italian and Spanish statutes, adoption issues, collateral lines, dowries, exclusions, and cross-disciplinary disputes. It is structured in three main parts (succession of parents, collaterals, and issues concerning women placed or endowed), with a rich apparatus of references to common law, local customs, and the constitutions of the Kingdom.
It is a text of great historical and legal importance: it represents one of the most authoritative contributions of the Neapolitan feudalistic school of the seventeenth century, influenced by the Bartolist tradition and the practice of the viceroyalty under Spain. Sought for centuries by jurists and administrators to resolve complex questions of feudal rights, successions, and noble prerogatives in Southern Italy.
Original Neapolitan edition highly sought on the antiquarian market; complete copies in good condition are rarely found.
Fresh and genuine copy, signs of wear but not affecting the text, with wide margins, of a cornerstone work for the study of southern feudal law.
Ideal for collections of ancient jurisprudence, the history of Italian law, and the Viceroyalty of Naples.
