1588 Gerichtzordnung Bavarian LAW William IV Duke of Bavaria Bayern FOLIO

The ‘Gerichtzordnung’ helped organize and define legal procedures, decrees, concepts, and law practices in Bavaria in the early 16^th-century. It was not written to change the current laws, just make them more understandable and expand on their meanings. This book remained the most important book of legal consultation into the 17^th-century. This 1588 reissue of the 1520 first edition is exceedingly rare and is identifiable by the title page and woodcut.
