This volume functions as a thematic "greatest hits" regarding the complex laws of laudimia-the fines or fees paid by a vassal to a lord upon the alienation of a fief. Compiled by Francisco de Solsona, the work draws heavily from the massive 18-volume Tractatus Universi Juris (Venice, 1584-1586) published under the aegis of Pope Gregory XIII. The collection includes essential tracts by Amadeus de Ponte: A noted Piedmontese jurist, Antoine Favre (Antonio Faber), the celebrated Savoyard jurist known for his rationalist approach to Roman law, Bertrand d'Argentre, the influential Breton customary lawyer and Hartmann Pistor and Maurice Bourgeois, representing the Germanic and French traditions of civil and canon law.
