Reformed Police Force
[PUBLIC ORDER.] Regolamento sulla Istituzione del Corpo dei Carabinieri Pontifici.
[together with:] GALASSI, Vincenzo. Sentimenti morali e brevi Istruzioni per un Carabiniere. Rome, Vincenzo Poggioli, 1816.
Two works in two volumes, 8vo, pp. 116; 72; contemporary full red crushed morocco, sides and spine decoratively gilt, gilt-lettering directly to spine, a.e.g., with attractive yellow pattern-paper endpapers; a fine set.
First edition, rare, of the rules governing the reformed papal police, based on the French Gendarmerie, and replacing the discredited earlier 'sbirri' of the Papal States.
Whereas the earlier police force of the Papal States had been mainly responsible for executing the dictates and warrants of the judiciary, and were directly under the control of the various courts of Rome, the new police force, the Carabinieri Pontifici were to be made more accountable, and organized in a strictly hierarchical structure. A lengthy set of rules specify structure, duties and discipline for the organization. The regulations give pay and chains of command, details of outfit and equipment, pensions etc. Clear controls are put into place against unauthorized arrests etc. In individual tables the main functions of the police are outlined, and details of deployment are given, within the different parts of the city. Some of the police are deployed on foot, others on horseback. These reforms were executed under the leadership of Cardinal Consalvi, who argued that the Carabinieri had to be a 'moral force' representing a moral and all-powerful regime.
The second work, Galassi's Sentimenti Morali e Brevi Istruzioni per un Carabiniere gives a more detailed insight into the everyday procedures and working practices of the Papal Police, with information on investigative practices, how to deal with fires, special regulations for policing markets, fairs and public events, how to deal with remand prisoners, how to transport prisoners to courts, etc. A handy compendium of useful documents concludes the volume.

1587 Justinian LAW Corpus Juris Civilis Codex Digest Godefroy Modius Commentary"Freedom is the natural ability of everyone to do what he likes, unless it is prohibited by law or by force."
― Justinian I
Justinian's 'Corpus Juris Civilis' is unquestionably the fundamental work on law and jurisprudence! Parts of this work were originally intended to be used by law students, but they were not solely used as a textbook – they carried legal weight …as law! It includes four distinct parts – Codex, Digest, Institutes, and Novellae – each written with a different purpose.
'Digest' or 'Pandectae' is a collection of juristic treatises taken from various legal writings of Ulpian and Paulus. 'Codex'
was the Justinian's attempt at organizing the laws in a systematic manner. Following the successes and legal implications of Codex and Digest, 'Novellae Constitutiones' or 'New Constitutions', was written after 534AD. These new laws were enacted following Justinian's reign, and, while credited to… Read More

1556 LAW Justinian Institutes Theophilus Antecessor Byzantine Law Jacques Corte "Freedom is the natural ability of everyone to do what he likes, unless it is prohibited by law or by force."
― Justinian I
The 'Institutes of Justinian' is a portion of the full Corpus Juris Civilis, largely based on the Institutes of Gaius. Justinian sought to reform Roman law and education. This work was originally intended to be used by law students, but they were not solely used as a textbook, they carried legal weight …as law!
Numerous jurists throughout history have made commentary on Justinian and created their own perspectives on the famed 'Corpus Juris Civilis'. Sixth-century Byzantine jurist Theophilus Antecessor was one such mind who wrote a commentary on each portion of Justinian's 'Corpus Juris'. This 1556 edition of Theophilus was edited by Jacques de Corte.
