LUGDUNI: APUD SEB. GRYPHIUM, 1548. In 16. Dim. 17x11 cm. Pp. 402+(14). Edizione del 1548 di questa nota opera letteraria scritta da Adriano Castellesi (ca 1485-1521) nato a Corneto (antico nome di Tarquinia) detto anche Adriano da Corneto. Castellesi fu grechista, ebraista, autore di poemetti, opere di stile, grammatiche e filosofico-teologiche. Espertissimo di affari, si arricchì enormemente destando in tal modo l'invidia di Cesare Borgia che tentò di avvelenarlo. Andato in esilio e ritornato in patria all'avvento di Leone X, dovette ritornarvi perchè accusato di aver preso parte alla congiura del Cardinale Petrucci. Da questo momento in poi non si sa più nulla di lui: sembra che sia stato assassinato a scopo di furto da uno dei suoi servitori. Il volume è un'opera didattica latina che riporta termini utilizzati in sentenze classiche latine. Alla fine risulta molto interessante il poema sulla caccia organizzata dal Cardinale Ascanio Sforza nei pressi… Read More

1698 1ed Scottish LAW Dirleton Doubts Edinburgh Scotland Political Nisbet Folio

John Nisbet, Lord of Dirleton was a 17th-century Scottish judge who is best known for his role in the persecution of Scottish covenanters. He also published a book of his perspective, or 'doubts', on many of the laws of Scotland. This 'Doubts & Questions in the Law' discussed the implementation of Scottish laws, many dealing with treason, taxation, trial witnesses, and even punishments.
These law commentaries are collectively known as 'Dirleton's Doubts' – the ultimately companion book to law students in Scotland in the early 18th-century.
