Original blind-panelled pigskin over wooden boards, clasps gone, two tears at top and bottom of spine. None of these editions is in Adams.A rare volume of three important texts in medieval canon law and very nicely printed by the short-lived partnership of three of Basel's greatest printers, Adam Petri, Johann Amerbach and Johan Froben. First work: The great work on canon law by Bonifacius VIII (Benedetto Gaetano). He added a large number of constitutions to the general ecclesiastical legislation, which came to be known as Liber Sextus, since the Decretals of Gregory IX, promulgated in 1239, consists of five books. Giovanni d'Andrea was one of the great canonists of his age and his gloss is incorporated in all early editions.Verso third leaf - recto fifth leaf contain the Arbor consanguinitatis and the Arbor affinitatis of Johannes Andreae. Second work: Clement V was elected pope in 1305 as successor to Benedict XI. He fixed his residence in Avignon thus inaugurating the seventy years' 'Captivity'. Clement was seen as being heavily dependant on the French king, Philip the Fair, who insisted on a formal condemnation of Clement's predecessor, Bonifacius VIII, on charges of heresy and immorality.Third work: John XII was elected pope in 1316 as candidate of Robert of Anjou and fixed his residence in Avignon where he remained the rest of his life. His reign was filled with theological and political conflicts. He was however a capable administrator, enlarged and reorganized the Curia, put the Papal finances on a sound basis and strengthened the hierarchy by founding new, and defining the frontiers of old, dioceses. - Some small worming throughout mostly but not exclusively limited to the lower blank margin, first title neatly rebacked, ownership inscription at top of first title dated 1588. Numerous contemporary marginal annotations in red ink. EUR 7500

FERRARIS, F.L. Promta bibliotheca, canonica, juridica, moralis, theologica, necnon ascetica, polemica, rubristica, historica, de principalioribus et fere omnibus quae in dies occurrunt, necpenes, omnes facile ..... (Ed. J.P. Migne). Paris, 1863-1866. 8 volumes bound in 4. Royal 8vo. Contemporary half vellum, corners, marbled boards, red and green labels with gilt lettering, red edges. Cf. Camus 31; Petzholdt 624; Hurter, iv, 1620-1. Famous work of which this is the last and best edition, edited by the Abbé Mignet who added an enormous amount of notes and six indexes. 'Sa célébrité lui vient cependant surtout d'un ouvrage qu'il composa sous forme de dictionnaire, très utile et très connu des théologiens et des canonistes.' The 'Prompta Bibliotheca' was printed for the first time in 1746 in Bologne and has seen many editions well into the second half of the 19th century due to the great richness of the subjects dealt with. His enormous erudition offered him the means to keep track of some 700 authors, and not less surprizing is his abundant citing from pontifical constitutions, decisions taken by the Roman Rota and the decisions taken by the various congregations of the roman clergy. The depth and accuracy of the work coupled with the alphabetical organization the work represents more or less a canonical library. It is the reason why Ferraris was copied so often without receiving the proper recognition. EUR 2000
