1673 1^ed Alexander Alexandro Neapolitan Jurisprudence Roman LAW Ghosts NAPLES

 

Alexander ab Alexandro (1461–1523) was an important Neapolitan lawyer during the turn of the 16^th-century. He practiced law in both Naples and in Rome. His main written work “Genilium Gierum”, is a collection of life stories as well as important details on Roman law, philology, and general learning, written in the same style as Gellius’s ‘Attic Nights’. One of the more humorous stories Alexandro shares in this book is of his home in Rome. He claimed it to be a haunted house and relates many of the bizarre experiences to the ghost living in his house.

 

This first Hackiana edition is a beautiful printing of this famous Italian law book.
