Latin text on two columns with Francois Accurse's comments, complete with double page illustration) of the "graduum cognationis."
Beautiful Lyon edition of the "Institutes" of Emperor Justinian, accompanied by the famous glosses of Francois Accurse (Accursius, c. 1182–1263), a major jurist of the Bologna law school and a founding figure of the medieval interpretation of the "Corpus Juris Civilis".
Accurse's commentary, the result of decades of work and compilation of earlier glosses, formed the basis of the "Corpus Glossatorum," a true key to understanding Roman law for medieval and modern jurists. Its influence extends well beyond the 13th century, and this glossed tradition remained in use in European universities until the end of the Ancien Regime.
The text of the "Institutiones", intended for the teaching of law, is presented here in the traditional arrangement: in the center, the text of Justinian; all around, in the margins, Accurse's gloss, offering a linear reading but enriched with a multitude of references, definitions, distinctions, and practical comments.
Printed in Lyon by Antoine Vincent, this edition is part of the rich 16th-century Lyonnais legal production, at the crossroads of medieval scholastic heritage and the rebirth of humanist law.
