A synthetic work drawn mostly from Roman-Dutch sources, it was based on Philip Wielant's Practycke Crimineele (c.1510) and other earlier treatises. Published in Latin, Dutch and French, it was the standard authority throughout the continent for many years. This Antwerp edition from 1601 is illustrated throughout with 64 woodcuts depicting adultery, murder, theft and many other crimes.

This edition published in conjunction with Damhouder's Sententiae Selectae Pertinentes ad Materiam Praxios Rerum Criminalium (1601), which is available separately as a Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. reprint.
