Schneidewini, Johannis [Johann Schneidewein]

In Quator Institutionum Imperalium Justiniani, Commentarii [Commentaries Upon the Institutes (Codex) of Justinian]

Strasburg and Frankfurt, Georgii Andreae Dolhopffii, 1677. Ninth edition. Hardcover. Pagination: [blank], [frontis.], [3], [Appendix, 8], 1-1904 (double-columned; two page numbers to a page). Index [94]. Thick 4to. Bound in vellum with yapped edges and a leather spine in compartments, and bears the copperplate engraved frontispiece of Schneidewein. The vellum shows wear and some soiling. It appears that the joints were at some time in the past repaired, with glue residue showing on boards. Spine leather chipped, and joints beginning to crack at spine ends. Front hinge neatly repaired. Contents tight, with some marginal wear to preliminary pages, else clean with only some very light foxing. Overall, a good+ copy of an important early legal and philosophical text. Johann Schneidewein (1519-1568) was a German jurist. At the age of eleven, he entered the University of Wittenberg and became acquainted with Martin Luther, when he was a boarder at his house in 1544. At first, Scheidewein studied what we would now describe as the 'liberal arts'. He then turned his attention to the study of law and was granted the degree of licentiate in 1545 (some accounts say 1544). For the next four years he taught and, in 1551, was granted a professorhip in law at the university. In the years prior to his death, he was often consulted on legal matters of state, and several times took part in deputations to the imperial court at Speyer. He died in Wittenberg in 1568, and his tomb at the Castle Church in that city is close to Luther's. His main work was his Commentaries on Justinian, which were edited by Matthias Wesenbeck and first published in 1573. .

SHAKESPEARE, William

'a Fascinating Relic' - a Remarkable Facsimile of the Will of William Shakespeare, As Done in His Own Hand in 1616

Folder. On March 25, 1616, just a few weeks before his death on April 25th, 1616, Shakespeare's lawyer Francis Collins attended upon him to receive instructions for certain changes to the poet's will, the first draft of which had been drawn up the previous January. Shakespeare's daughter, Judith, had subsequently married and her father wished to alter the provision he had made for her. A new first page was drafted, and there were numerous substitutions and additions in the second and third pages, but a fair copy was never produced, perhaps because Shakespeare's death was imminent. The printed introduction to this facsimile of that will says: 'The original copy of Shakespeare's will, written entirely in his own hand, is buried, although a priceless treasure, in the nether regions of Somerset House, London, in the Probate registry, where, since its formal authentication by means of a recent discovery, it is exhumed on request for the fascinated gaze of visitors from all over the world. It is the only document in the handwriting of the great Englishman which has come down to us.' Our offering is a remarkable facsimile of the original will, appearing at first glance, to be authentic, an impression reinforced by the presence of the remains of a wax seal and cord. It is tabbed on to the folder in which it, and the printed transcription, are contained. There is no evidence of who produced this remarkable facsimile, or when. There is also an authentic-looking hand-written inscription of Shakespeare on the front cover of the folder: 'Mr Shakespere his will' [sic]. .
