JUSTINIANUS (483-565)
Institutiones. With the Glossa ordinaria of Accursius. Basel: Michael Wenssler, 30 Nov. 1481.
Fourth Basel edition of Justinian's foundational work on Roman law. Justinian wrote the Institutiones as the third part of his codification of Roman law in a period when Europe was reckoning with the legacy of the Western Roman Empire. The collected Corpus Juris Civilis is perhaps the greatest monument of Justinian's reign, with the Institutiones designed as a guide to the complexities of Roman law, thus serving as a foundational text in the canon of Western jurisprudence. HC 9509*; BMC III 728; BSB-Ink C-643; Bod-inc J-237; GW 7605. Goff Suppl. J520a; ISTC ij00520500.

Printed in black in double column, with headings, colophon and woodcut device on final leaf printed in red, initial letters and paragraph marks supplied in red and blue, initial strokes in yellow, some leaves with early ink foliation (opening 3 leaves slightly frayed at edges, some marginal dampstaining heaviest in signature c, long closed tear into text in b6, a few short marginal tears, of which one neatly reinforced, some small marginal wormholes).
