Mens Emblematica Et Humanisme Juridique - Le Cas Du 'Pegma Cum Narrationibus Philosophicis' de Pierre Coustau (1555) (French, Hardcover)

Pierre Coustau and Andre Alciat's work on emblems may have been a literary pastime, a break from jurisprudential theory, but it is nevertheless informed by legalism and the praxis of Roman law. Humanist juridical commentaries bear witness to the permeability of this legal culture and its widespread applications. Commentaries on civil law sought to elevate a new ideal of Justice in search of images and symbols around which a community of erudite and inventive jurists could rally. French text.
