First Venetian edition of the renowned commentary to the Justinian's Institutions written by Ioannes Oinotomos (Johann Shneidewein), first printed in 1573 and re-issued tenths of times along the following two centuries. The text is organized according to the theories of Protestant Reform, whose application Martin Luther charged Philip Melanchton.
Johann Schneidewein (Oinotomos)(1519-1568), was a famous German jurist, scholar of Martin Luther at Wittenberg. He followed his teacher all along his life, obtaining prestigious political and academic tasks, in the German protestant electorate. He considered a fake the donation of Constantine and, consequently, he deemed illegitimate the temporal power of the Roman papacy.
Provenance: Contemporary handwritten annotations (not identified) at margins and both fly-leaves.
References: ICCU\RMSE\006051; OCLC, 19737827 (four copies in USA).
