Substantial study of Burgundian customary laws by the local jurist Henry Boguet (1550-1619). Boguet rose to prominence two years earlier after the appearance of his oft-republished demonological treatise "Discours exécrable des Sorciers" (1602). The present work did not receive quite the same attention. While the majority of the text is in Latin, the section headers are usefully provided in French and these are the portions of the text which received the most attention by the contemporary owner. They took particular interest in sections on women's marriage rights and succession rights, perhaps in preparation for a marriage or in the wake of a parent's death perhaps.
OCLC locates three copies in the United States as of February, 2025, at George Washington, Harvard, and U. Penn.
