1653 SELECTARUM JURIS QUAESTIONUM, ARNOLD VINNIUS (1588-1657), DUTCH LAW, LEIDEN - Book 2 of 'Selectarum Juris Quaestionum' or 'Selected Questions of Law' by the famed Arnold Vinnius, one of the most important jurists of the 17th century, impacting law across all of Europe throughout the entirety of the 18th century as well. The book details various legal issues and cases relating to Dutch law and the Roman law from which it discends. The end of this book is appended with commentaries and speeches from both Arnold and Simon Vinnius. This book was published in 1653 by Joh. & Danielem Elsevier in the city of Leiden in The Netherlands, listed here as Lugd. Batav. (Lugdunum Batavia) as it is believed that the Romans called it. The modern Elsevier Press is unrelated to the Elsevier family who published this book, except in that they were inspired by said family and so the modern company uses the very same logo that is found engraved in this book, the man picking fruit from a tree labeled 'non solus'. 16], 511, [1] pp. Please make all inquiries before bidding.
