Precious collection of Renaissance treatises on commercial law, including Petrus de Ubaldi's work on companies management.

1. The main work is attributed to Pietro de Ubaldis, brother to the more renowned jurist Baldo to whom the authority of the work is likely to be ascribed. De duobus fratribus et aliis sociis («On two brothers and other partners») is a company law treatise dealing with the formation, management and closing down of companies especially made between two brothers but also among other partners.

2. The Commentarii in titulum de collectis constitutes an out-and-out treatise of fiscal and tax law based on the difference of taxation between citizens and foreign people, able and disabled people, clergy and laymen.

3. The collection is closed by some fiscal advices and by the Tractatus de permutatione beneficiorum, that concerns canon law and the goods reserved to clergymen.

Provenance: Interesting annotations by a contemporary hand.
