In 16, pp. 28. Br. coeva. Libello antigesuitico pubblicato subito dopo il regicidio Henry IV Le Grand, avvenuto per mano di Ravaillac. Questi, fanatico cattolico, perseguitato da visioni, si convinse che il Re volesse far guerra al Papa. Decise di ucciderlo, cosa che fece il 14 maggio 1610 in Rue de la Ferroviere, pugnalandolo sulla sua carrozza. Durante il processo, nonostante le torture cui fu sottoposto, non rivelo' di avere altri complici. Mori' il 27 maggio, squartato da 4 cavalli, tra atroci torture. Subito dopo si scateno' una feroce diatriba tra coloro che indicavano i gesuiti come i mandanti del regicidio, e i gesuiti che, con alcuni scrittori come il Mariana, Coton e il Bellarmino, arrivavano addirittura a sostenere la legittimita' del tirannicidio quando il sovrano fosse eretico o senza una forte convinzione religiosa. Quando il 6 giugno il parlamento emano' un 'arret' che condannava il tirannicidio, inizio' la lunga querelle portata avanti a forza di libelli, perlopiu' anonimi quelli antigesuitici, con autore dichiarato invece quelli redatti dalla Compagnia. Il primo a comparire e' proprio questa 'Remostrance' con la quale si afferma che la mano di Ravaillac fu armata dai buoni padri. Tornando pero' al regicidio di Ravaillac, occorre considerare che se in ogni infrazione c?e' un crimen majestatis e nel piu' infimo dei criminali un regicida in potenza, il regicida a sua volta e' il criminale assoluto. Invece di fare la lotta al potere, attaccando la volonta' del potere sovrano, egli ne attacca il principio nella persona fisica del Principe. La punizione ideale per il regicida dovrebbe formare la somma di tutti i supplizi possibili: la vendetta infinita. Non esistendo una pena specifica per questo reato, per Ravaillac era stato necessario inventarla, combinando tra loro le piu' crudeli. Lo stesso accadra' nel 1757 a Damiens, fallito regicida di Luigi XV. Si puo' persino considerare che queste due atroci esecuzioni rappresentarono una moderazione dell?efferatezza della vendetta del potere, paragonata all?esecuzione dell?omicida di Guglielmo d?Orange nel 1582, durata addirittura 18 giorni.

In 8, pp. 181 + (1b) + (2) + (2b). Antica firma di possesso al controp. ant. Danni restaurati al p. post. Legatura in p. pg. coeva. Trattato che descrive le teorie legislative in ambito giudiziario dall'antichita' focalizzandosi poi sul concetto di 'vendetta pubblica' riconosciuto da Vecchioni come fondamento della penalita'. Secondo l'A. ordinariamente la parola vendetta fa pensare ad una ignobile passione che 'rende taluno avido del male di colui da cui si crede offeso, e spesse volte lo spinge a procurarlo per vie anche vili ed ingiuste [...] Or dunque senza perder tempo io dichiaro, che per vendetta non intendo una passione, ma una naturale tendenza. [...] La vendetta pubblica e' un'espressione che sta comunemente in bocca di tutti, e ch'e' adoperata da tanti valorosi scrittori, e dalle stesse leggi: potra' dirsi che con un si' autorevole consenso si sia attribuita una vera improbita' di sentimenti all'intero corpo dello stato? Tutte le legislazioni hanno permesso agli offesi di sollecitar la loro vendetta legale, che tenesse luogo dell'abolita vendetta personale: si dira' che in tal modo si sia secondata e fomentata una rea passione?'. Carlo Vecchioni fu vicepresidente della Suprema Corte di Giustizia di Napoli.
