AFONSO X, O SÁBIO (D.). LAS Siete Partidas del Sabio Rey Don Alonso el Nono, nuevamente Glosadas. En Valladolid. 1587. - AFONSO X, O SÁBIO (D.) LAS Siete Partidas del Sabio Rey Don Alonso el Nono, nuevamente Glosadas . Por el Licenciado Gregorio Lopez, del Consejo Real de Indias de su Magestad. Con su Repertorio muy copioso, assi del Testo como de la Glosa. [Tomo I: Primera y Segunda Partida.]. En Valladolid: En casa de Diego Fernandez de Cordoua, Impressor del Rey nuestro señor, 1587. 151 ff., 116 ff.; 410 mm. Volume I (First and Second Parts) of this important edition of the Siete Partidas with glosses by Gregorio López, which established the legally definitive text of the great medieval Castilian legislative code. The edition directly follows the first one glossed by López, printed in Salamanca in 1555 – the only one declared the single authentic and legal text. Gregorio López de Tovar (c. 1490-1560), a licentiate and member of the Royal Council of the Indies, meticulously reviewed and corrected the earlier manuscripts and printings, in which the carelessness of copyists and printers had introduced variants that adulterated the original spirit. The Siete Partidas were compiled by order of Alfonso X of Castile (1221-1284) – the Wise – the most ambitious legislative and cultural project of the 13th century in Spanish history. Covering civil, canon, procedural, family, commercial, and criminal law, the work incorporates the tradition of Justinian Roman law, canon law, and Castilian legal traditions, written in a literary Castilian of great elegance that became a linguistic reference for later generations. Sanctioned as law of Castile and León by Alfonso XI in 1348, its legal authority extended into the 19th century, including in the American territories under Spanish rule. The text runs in two columns with marginal glosses by López; the titles of each Partida are printed in two inks with the woodcut imperial coat of arms of Charles V. This complete edition, rare on the market, comprises three volumes of text and a fourth of repertory and indexes. The present copy corresponds to Volume I, with the First Part (151 ff.) and the Second Part (116 ff.). Rare and sought after. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate ¶ Palau, 7094
