[NUREMBERG] Der Stat Nürmberg verneute Reformation.
Nuremberg: Valentin Geissler, 1564. Contemporary blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards, brass clasps, catches, bosses and bossed corner pieces (one catch no longer present), dated 1571; housed in a modern slipcase. 12 1/4 x 7 1/2 inches (30.75 x 10.5 cm); 288 ff.; historated woodcut title border and a full-page woodcut illustration of "Iusticia," "Pax" and "Liberalitas" (with a small view of Nuremberg in the background), both signed M.S., woodcut double-page tree of genealogical tree relations between 2P1 and 2. Binding somewhat worn, two cornerpieces and one clasp lacking, rebacked; internally somewhat shaken, a few minor marginal tears and stains, very extensively annotated in two or more hands.
This is the first edition of the revised 1564 Nuremberg city laws. These, replacing a code previously enacted in 1498, are thematically organized into sections on court and procedural law; contracts, right of distraint, limitation law, fishing law, planning and building law; and the law of inheritance, in which the folding table of genealogical relations (frequently missing) is placed. The extensive annotations address amendments to the statutes and interpretive aspects. BM/STC German, p. 656; Stobbe II, p. 304.
