First edition in french of this milestone work for the oceanography.

Count Marsili (1658-1730), an Italian military officer, geographer, and naturalist, is considered the founder of oceanography following the publication of this work. He conducted field observations, studied the seabed of the Gulf of Lion, classified species, currents, and the properties of seawater, emphasizing that his entire scientific approach was based "on the experiments and observations that I myself made on site."

His discoveries about coral and its "flowers" captured the full attention of scholars, as coral had been classified in the mineral kingdom since antiquity. However, Marsili noticed that branches of red coral he had collected became covered with white flowers within a few hours. He deduced that coral was a living organism, belonging to the animal kingdom, which marked a decisive turning point in the understanding of the marine environment.

A superb and extremely rare copy, as is the case here, with all the plates finely colored.

Le Grant Coustumier de Bourgogne. 

Paris, François Regnault, 1534-1535.
More Details >
4000 €

Completely revised and expanded edition of the custom of Burgundy by Chasseneuz.

A book on the origins of French law.
Chasseneuz's comments on customary law in Burgundy draw heavily on Roman law. Following him, other authors will revise local customary rights, such as Bouhier with the Customs of Berry. At the beginning of the 16th century, all customary law was thus reviewed and put back in order, constituting a legal corpus which would serve as the basis for the great reform of the Napoleonic Code.
"The appearance of his book was an event in the legal world. Its success soon exceeded the limits of Burgundy. [...] We saluted, in its author, the man who, the first, had just introduced the light of Roman law in the chaos of local customs." PIGNOT, "A Jurisconsult in the Sixteenth Century: Barthélemy de Chasseneuz", Larose, 1880

Beautiful Gothic print on two columns embellished with initials and 7 full-page engravings of inheritance trees. The completely revised edition of 1534 appears with a sequel, dated 1535 and with its own title page, listing all the additions to the Commentaries of Chasseneuz published in 1517 and 1528.
