VD 16 B-966. Schottenloher, Schobser No. 167. Muther No. 1757. Dodgson II, 267 No. 1. Rare. One of the two variants of the second augmented edition. According to the printer's note at the end the first edition of 1516 contained errors and, also being out of print, a new edition was necessary. This juridical publication lists in great detail the laws valid in Upper and Lower Bavaria concerning e.g. robbery, murder, gypsies, singers, actors, beggars, law of succesion, matrimonial law, the office of notary, drunkenness, gambling, breweries and taverns, agricultural matters and contracts, cattle-trade, ordinations for butchers, weavers, saddlers, milers, bricklayers and many other trades. Reflecting the organization of early 16th century society, the work presents a fascinating cultural-historical source. - Occasionally some slight thumbing; small wormhole in lower blank margins towards the end neatly repaired; light waterstain in some upper blank margins; a large copy.

Not in Fuhring, I.F.F., or any of the other usual bibliographies (kind information of Dr Peter Fuhring). Unrecorded edition. An unknown engraver copied the plates in reverse from the original series, which was invented and etched by Jean Lepautre (first edition Paris, ca. 1670). In the original series five of the plates are divided into a left-hand and right-hand side, showing variants of the proposed façades. In the present series the façades are symmetric, so left-hand and right-hand side are the same. Also different from the original series is the fact that in our series all the façades are placed against a sky. For the original series compare I.F.F. XVII, 12, Nos. 2120, 2122 - 2125. Beautiful designs for baroque church façades in two stories, adorned with statues, balustrades, 3 plates with domes above the crossing. Invented by the famous French architect and ornament designer Jean Lepautre (Paris 1618 - 1682). - Ownership entry on title "Joannij Veit Soc. Jesu".
