First published in 1611, this was a well-regarded treatise on the appropriation, under legal authority, of private property to the state in Roman, canon and Italian law. Little is known about Guazzini. The title page of our copy says he was an advocate and expert on criminal law associated with the Roman Curia. This edition is enhanced by an extensive second treatise by Massini. According to the title page, he was jurisconsult associated with the Rota in Macerata.
