Contemporary signature to front flyleaf and title. Title page creased and tender. Moderate toning contemporary ink underscoring. Scattered spotting. <br> The Corpus Juris or Iuris Civilis "Body of Civil Law" is a collection of fundamental works in jurisprudence issued from 529 to 534 by order of Justinian I Eastern Roman Emperor. Its influence on common law legal systems has been much smaller although some basic concepts from the Corpus have survived through Norman law – such as the contrast especially in the Institutes between statute and custom. The Corpus continues to have a major influence on public international law. Its four parts thus constitute the foundation documents of the Western legal tradition. In the Renaissance Justinian’s Code was translated into vernacular languages and formed the base for the legal system for the majority of countries up until the 19th century.

Bound without the half-titles. James Justinian Morier was a renowned British diplomat and author who entered the diplomatic service through the influence of his uncle Admiral William Waldegrave1st Baron Radstock. First visiting Iran in 1808 as secretary to Sir Harford Jones-Brydges Morier had an extensive career in the country and wrote several travel works of his experiences that were widely popular. This picaresque romance of Persian life was written after Morier retired from his diplomatic career in Iran. The work drew heavily on Morier's personal knowledge of Persia and its people that he had acquired on the British embassy staff at Tehran. The novel hence widely influenced English ideas of Persia and its Persian translation even led to the development of the modern Persian novel of social criticism.An unusual copy of this work in need of a sympathetic rebind.

Title inscribed with former owners initials and dated 1702 possibly von Clodh suggesting German ownership by the early 18th century. <br/><br/>Rare pocket edition of the Institutes of Justinian known as the Institutions impériales in French and printed in Paris by Vivant Gaultherot in 1547; following two earlier editions in 1543 and 1544. There were at least five more editions of this French translation printed between 1547 and 1558. As early as the 12th century French legal students began to refine their study and practice of law toward a perfected Justinian system. This interest was largely owed to the spread of the scientific study of pure Roman law initiated at the University in Bologna. The Bologna revival as it was known made its way first to the law university at Montpellier and then spread elsewhere in France. Over the following centuries demands for new translations of the Justinian Institutes were doubtless tied to the foundation of several new French universities. Nicolaus de LEscut d. 1580 editor and translator of the Institutions impériales was an early modern jurist diplomat and secretary to Antoine the Good Duke of Lorraine. LEscuts translators note states he took grosse peine or great trouble in this undertaking so the reader would understand the text plus facilement. The Bologna revival at medieval universities across Europe and the growing interest in new translations of the Justinian Institutes introduced ideas of Roman law to the provinces.

Along with the Institutes Code and Digest the Novels is one of the writings known collectively as the Corpus Juris Civilis. The first three books were commissioned by the Justinian I in 530CE. The Code is the restated code of law the Digest is a compilation of legal opinions and the Institutes is an introductory textbook on the Code. The Novels is a compilation of laws enacted after the publication of the Code. The subsequent influence of these books on European jurisprudence is difficult to overestimate.

His edition of the Novels includes the Peace of Constantine Edict of Milan the act that recognized the legitimacy of Christianity in the Roman Empire edicts of the Holy Roman Emperors Henry VII reigned 1165-1197 and Frederick II reigned 1194-1250 and a collection of papal legislation falsely attributed to Pope Clement I reigned 88-99CE the so-called "False Decretals."
