Item description from seller

Lyon: Apud Guliel. Rouillium, 1555. Well-Annotated Copy of Tiraqueau's Study of French Civil Law and the Customary Law of Poitou Tiraqueau, Andre [1480?-1558]. De Utroque Retractu, Municipali, Et Conventionali, Commentarii Duo, Iam Tertio, Sed Multo Felicius, Quam Antea, Renati, & Amendis Propemodum Innumeris, Quae Insuperiori Editione Resederat, Ipsius Denuo Autoris Opera Quam Accuratissime Repurgati. Lyon: Apud Guliel. Rouillium, 1555. [lvi], 16, [1], 353 ff. Folio (13-1/4" x 8-3/4"; 33.7 x 22.2 cm). Contemporary quarter calf over paper-covered boards, raised bands, gilt fillets and lettering piece to spine. Moderate rubbing and scuffing to boards, heavier rubbing to extremities with wear to spine ends and corners, boards beginning to separate, but secure. Copperplate frontispiece with architectural border, woodcut image of author to verso. Moderate toning and light foxing to interior, faint dampstaining to foot of text block in a few places. Partially struck-through name ("Gavroux"?) to title page, check marks, underlining and annotations to several leaves, a few somewhat illegible, in somewhat later hand. $3,500. * Third and definitive edition, heavily revised and corrected by the author.

First published in 1543, De Utroque Retractu is his landmark comparative study examining the intersection of Roman civil law and the customary law (coutumes) of Poitou, specifically focusing on the legal rights of retraction (the right to reclaim familial or transacted property). Highly influential in reconciling regional customary traditions with classical Roman frameworks, the work was widely received and went through numerous editions well into the seventeenth century. Based on paleographic evidence and thematic content, this copy features extensive margins heavily annotated by a contemporary hand in the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century. The anonymous annotator exhibits a sophisticated command of local practice, offering a critical dialogue with Tiraqueau's text. The commentary focuses heavily on issues of inheritance and succession law, alongside notes on statutory penalties (f. 16/p. 86) and legal prohibitions against the alienation of third-party goods (f. 200).
