Tractatus Foecundus is concerned with the Roman law of prescription, the principle whereby a right or liability is created or extinguished over a certain period of time, usually in regard to a property title. It also includes an edition of a short treatise on this subject by Henricus de Segusio. It was a popular work that went through several issues and editions, the last one in 1582. Our 1564 copy was also issued in 1563. Both are identical in every respect and share the same entry number in EDIT16. All editions are scarce in North America. OCLC locates 2 copies of the 1564 edition in North America (at Harvard Law School and the Library of Congress). Censimento Nazionale Delle Edizioni Italiane del XVI Secolo CNCE3948.
