Small later library stamp and owner signature to front free endpaper, occasional early annotations and underlining. A nice copy of a scarce title. * Later edition. Initially based on local custom and gradually modified by the introduction of Roman, procedure in the Holy Roman courts was especially intricate. This created a ready market for procedural manuals. Process unnd Practica is one of the best and long-lived examples. Originally published in 1541, it went through several editions, the final in 1625.
