Giffen was an important Dutch humanist, philologist, jurist and authority on Roman law who taught at the universities of Altdorf, Ingolstadt and Prague. Antinomiae Iuris Feudalis was first published in 1605. It is a collection of 11 essays on feudal law topics, such as inheritance and contracts based, presumably, on earlier research by Olemann. Later editions were published in 1647 and 1666. All are scarce. OCLC locates 4 copies of the second edition in North American law libraries (Harvard, Library of Congress, UC-Berkeley, Yale).
