Signed manuscript on Justinian institutions. It is a study copy, written on early 1800, presumably a synthesis from the same titled work written by Johannes Voet or from another one, always with the same title, written by Johann Gottlieb Heinecke.

The work, preceded by the title (Elementa juris secundum ordinem Institutionum Justinianearum) and the preface, is divided in four books, each one subdivided in titles; in the end, the Author concludes his efforts writing: finis coronat opus, ad maiorem Dei gloriam, Aloysius Moscatelli.

Provenance: Signature Aloysius Moscatelli at verso of the last leaf. Luigi Moscatelli (Rome, 1777 - ?), was a studious of canon law, named subdeacon on 1807 and then Papal chaplain.
