A fine introduction to his work on law and theology, Tractatus Tres was first published in 1622. Other editions followed in 1627, 1625 and 1629. As its subtitle indicates, the first of the three tractati discusses the jurisprudence of canon law. The other sections discuss sin and the Ten Commandments from the viewpoints of law and theology. All editions are scarce. OCLC locates 5 copies of the 1629 edition, 1 in North America (St. Bonaventure University). Not in the British Museum Catalogue.
