plein veau brun, tit. doré sur pc. bordeaux, dos à 5 nerfs orné de dentelles et filets encadrants dorés, tr. mouchetées, (coiffes affaissées avec de petits mq., plats frottés, coins émoussés avec qq. épidermures, qq. mouillures claires marginales) Ouvrage qui présente plus d’intérêt qu’un simple commentaire de la coutume de Paris : pour la première fois en effet, l’auteur n’a pas procédé à ce commentaire article par article mais sous la forme d’un plan organisé, d’où le titre "d’institution" qui se réfère aux "institutions du droit français" parues à partir du XVIIème siècle. Il faut en outre souligner que l’auteur est étrangement proche de certaines analyses que l’école exégétique fera siennes un siècle plus tard : "mon dessein n’est point de faire des commentaires ni de traiter indifféremment toute sorte de questions qui naissent et qui se font tous les jours sur l’interprétation de la coutume mais seulement d’en expliquer le texte tout nu par simple raisonnement tirée de la définition et de la division des choses …".
pl. veau fauve, dos à 5 nerfs, tit. doré sur pc. bordeaux, tr. rouge, vignette, lettrines, nom d’un précédent propriétaire à l’encre sur plusieurs p. et avec cachet “Paul Yver, huissier à Tilly sur Seulles”, (épidermures et frottements, accroc au 2ème plat, mors entièrement fendus avec mq., premier caisson du dos manquant, coiffes accidentées avec mq., 4 coins émoussés avec mq., trous de vers traversant en marge), intérieur très frais Le présent ouvrage ayant été imprimé chez un imprimeur ecclésiastique, il requérait une approbation qui contient, contrairement au Privilège délivré par le Roi, une appréciation de fond sur l’ouvrage établie en ces termes "Bien qu’il y ait un grand nombre d’auteurs, qui ont écrit sur cette Coutume comme Terrien…Godefroy, Basnage… celui-ci de Pesnelle a néanmoins son mérite particulier : il s’exprime avec une grande netteté ; il fait voir qu’il a une connaissance particulière du droit civil, d’où plusieurs articles de cette sage Coutume ont été tirés ; il discerne très judicieusement la diversité des sentiments des commentateurs qui l’ont précédé". En outre rédigé après 1666 il contient de nombreuses comparaisons avec les Ordonnances de Louis XIV et se veut une réflexion sur la modernisation du droit privé en Normandie. Il se clôt par une partie spéciale consacrée aux usages locaux des seigneuries normandes. Exemplaire de travail.

Two volumes. pp. [2], xxvi, 486; xi, 731, [1]. Large 4to. 250 mm. x 300 mm. Modern plain full navy blue leather bindings. Hardbound. Very good+. A wonderful work of history, folklore, nostalgia, and sociology by the Newcastle antiquary, John Brand (1744-1806). The first volume deals with holidays and customs associated with them, such as: New Years Eve; Valentine's Day; customs surrounding many long lost feast days; Easter; pagan mid-Summer rites and dances; Allhallow Even; Yule and Christmastide; Harvests; Etc. The second volume deals with customs and ceremonies relating to life events and common folklore, such as: marriage; death; communion; sailors going tp sea; fairs; fairies; devils and witchcraft; omens; charms; divination; Etc. There are also over 30 pages describing games and sports, including: Archery; Boxing; Foot-Ball; Goff or Golf; Nine Pins; Races; the Ring; Wrestling; etc. & etc. First issued as a small octavo in 1777, Brand continued collecting materials for a revised edition for the rest of his life. He acquired a large amount of additional information from the statistical enquiries in Scotland instigated by Sir John Sinclair. A second edition was planned in 1795, but Brand was apparently overwhelmed by the task of arranging systematically so much material. He did not live to complete the project. Instead the collections were purchased after his death by a bookseller for L600 and were incorporated into this new edition by Sir Henry Ellis (1777-1869). It still stands as an entertaining and essential starting point for studies of English folklore and customs. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W150

plein veau brun raciné, dos lisse orné de fleurons et filets encadrants dorés, un filet sur les coupes, (coiffes et pc. de tit. absentes, coins émoussés avec qq. mq., plats frottés avec des épidermures, des mouillures claires marginales sans atteintes au texte, mors fatigués ) Également commentateur de la coutume de Meaux (Seine et Marne), Champy est un des seuls, avec Christophe de Thou et Ch. Dumoulin, à appréhender cette coutume de manière autonome. C’est d’ailleurs cette édition qui sera principalement retenue dans le recueil de la Bibliothèque des coutumes de Cl. Berroyer, E. de Laurrière et Ch. du Moulin. Très rare, Dupin, réf. de 1249-3, Manque à Cujas.
rel. d’époque pl. veau brun moucheté, dos à nerfs orné, tit. doré sur pc. bordeaux, tr. marbrées, roulette sur les coupes, tit. rouge et noir, ex-libris manuscrit ancien, (lég. épidermure, une éraflure et une petite coupure sur les plats, petit manque à la coiffe de pied, coupes un peu frottées, taches brunes et qq. trous de vers sur les gardes du premier plat), texte très frais Contrairement à la coutume du duché, celle du comté de Bourgogne n’a connu qu’un nombre très restreint de commentaires et celui de Dunod de Charnage est de toute évidence le meilleur. Soulignons en particulier les passages décisifs sur le droit des sociétés qui loin d’un simple commentaire coutumier peut être conçu comme un véritable traité en la matière d’une qualité tout à fait remarquable. Dernière édition recensée (Dupin, réf. 1209-5).
