Baudouin was an eminent French humanist jurist and theologian. Interested in the early history of Roman law, he emphasized the importance of history in the development of the law. This volume collects two of his principal works, De Legibus XII Tabularum, a study of the history and significance of the Twelve Tables, and Commentarius de Iurisprudentia Muciana, a study of Roman law during the Republic. The final title addresses the legal status of the early Christian Church. Adams, Catalogue of Books Printed on the Continent of Europe, 1501-1600 B87, B93, B84.
