1599 LAW Commentary on Constitutions French Roman Juris Civilis Pierre Rebuffi

The ‘Institutes of Justinian’ is a portion of the full Corpus Juris Civilis, largely based on the Institutes of Gaius. Justinian sought to reform Roman law and education. This work was originally intended to be used by law students, but they were not solely used as a textbook, they actually carried legal weight …as law!

These institutes have been edited with commentary for decades, some more popular than others, but Pierre Rebuffi’s is a highly important late 16^th-century edition. Rebuffi was a French jurist who was perhaps the most famous legal scholar of his day. He is most remembered for his ‘Commentary on the Constitutions’ which is a collection of various titles on Roman Law –

• ‘Tractatus de litteris obligatoriis regio sigillo’
• ‘Tractatus de chirographorum and cedularum recognitione’
• ‘Tractatus de sententiis praejudicialibus’
• ‘De sententiis executoriis’
• ‘De evocationibus utilis’
• ‘De litteris civilibus’
• ‘De supplicationibus’

This 1599 edition features Royal ordinances printed completely in French, as Rebuffi’s commentaries appear in Latin. A fascinating late 16^th-century edition!
