Like their counterparts in other lands with civil-law systems, notaries in the Holy Roman Empire occupied an important place in the legal hierarchy analogous to a present-day British solicitor. First published in 1624-1625 with a title beginning Informatio Notariorum, Volckmann's treatise was a standard work into the mid-1700s. (Its final edition was published in 1763.) A detailed reference, it outlines the legal responsibilities of a notary and reviews aspects of notarial practice and procedure. It is a fine source of historical information on everyday legal practice in the Holy Roman Empire. All editions of this work are scarce. OCLC locates 1 complete copy of the 1708 edition in North America (UC-Berkeley Law School). It is not listed in VD18.
