Attractive, well-margined copy of this anonymous law dictionary printed in Koberger's heyday. The text is an authoritative collection of terms taken from legal texts dating from the twelfth through the fifteenth centuries; the editio princeps was around 1473, and the last edition over 200 years later, around 1618 (Tarlton Law Library, Law Dictionary Collection, online exhibition). Some manuscripts attribute the compilation to Jodocus, a jurist at Erfurt University. See lot 1085 for another incunable edition, bound with a later work. BMC II 420; Copinger 6361; Goff V340; GW M12646; Vancil 306.
