First published in 1490, and Brant's only original legal work, Expositiones was a popular, highly regarded introduction to the Corpus Juris Canonici and Corpus Juris Civilis. According to Stintzing-Landsberg, it is a useful guide to contemporary legal pedagogy in the Holy Roman Empire. Our edition also includes an equally renowned introductory textbook that Brant held in high regard: Caccialupi's Tractatus de Modo Studendi in Utroque Iure, which offers a basic history and outline of Europe's legal systems and advice on study methods.
