Giuntine edition of the complete set of Bartolo da Sassoferrato's collected works, in its original binding.

Bartolo da Sassoferrato (Sassoferrato, 1314 - Perugia, 1357), teacher of law at Perugia and Pisa, theologist and philosopher, was one of the more eminent jurist of the XIV century in Europe and one of the first exponents of the law school named "the commentators".In spite of his short life, he left many commentary works on Roman law, legal advices to private persons and treatises on specific subjects, among which that regarding the right of retaliation, considered one of the foundation texts of international private law in the following centuries. His comments were so much evaluated and respected to be compared to those of Papinianus, in ancient times.
