The last of three single volumes of the second edition of this work of jurisprudence composed by Andrea Fachinaeus or Facchinei (1549-1609), an Italian jurist who taught at the University of Ingolstadt between 1587 and 1597. Attractive German binding with the arms of the Duke of Würtemberg, probably John Frederick I (1608-1628). It is decorated at the corners with a beautiful fleuron and in the centre of the second cover with a remarkable oval medallion decorated with interlacing and arabesques on an azure background. The volume bears on the upper counterplate the handwritten ex-libris and a note by Johann Leonhard Fleiner (1556-1624), a lawyer from Esslingen (a town in Baden-Württemberg) and active in Tübingen; the latter had acquired several volumes from the humanistic library of Wolfgang Schertlin in Esslingen. From the Charles Vander Elst Library, with ex-libris. Small tear without missing at the top of the sheet u2, oxidation hole in Hh3. A few blades and minimal marginal wetting.
