The text is written in Latin, but Carben occasionally includes some German law texts. The work is dedicated to Daniel Kornmann.

Internally in very good condition, with only a few tiny spots. Binding rubbed along the extremities, spine slightly damaged at the head and foot and the added silver a bit flaked, but still firm and otherwise good.l WorldCat (1 copy); not in VD18.
