Description:
1552 Medieval LAW Gratianus Decretum Catholic Canon Corpus Juris + Mouchy GlossGratianus, more commonly referred to as the 'Decretum Gratiani' was a 12th-century monk of whom nothing is known other than his work 'Decretum' (hence the moniker). This work is a collection of decrees on Canon Law which became part of the Corpus Juris Canonici. Gratian's work was known to heavily influence the writings of Peter Lombard along with notable anthologies and legal glossaries written in the 14th-16th-centuries. According to Thomas Woods, this work
"served as a model for 12th-century jurists in the formation of western law, based on rational rules and evidence to replace barbaric laws."
Antoine de Mouchy, a 16th-century French scholar, published an important commentary on Gratian. This 1552 de Mouchy edition of Gratian is exceedingly rare. According to the USTC, this book appears in only one institutional holding worldwide!

BASILEAE: APUD NIC. EPISCOPIUM IUN., 1558. In 16. Dim. 17x12 cm. Pp. 32 (n.n.)+350+2 (n.n.). Rara edizione del 1558 di quest'opera scritta da Cristophe Longueil (1488-1522) umanista francescano. Nel 1517 Longueil strinse amicizia con Pietro Bembo e Jacopo Sadoleto ma questo non impedì che nei suoi confronti si scatenasse una forte campagna diffamatoria tanto che fu costretto a trafserirsi a Padova dove si spense. Ammiratore incondizionato di Cicerone, fu un grande propagandista del ciceronismo prima in Francia, poi a Roma. Questo suo epistolario non è una mera imitazione della produzione ciceroniana, ma denota una ricerca stilistica ed un'eleganza espositiva di rara freschezza e vivacità. Nella prima parte la sua vita, poi l'epistolario. Numerose note manoscritte all'interno. Marca editoriale all'ultima carta. Titolo manoscritto al taglio inferiore.
