A 1546 Latin legal commentary on Roman law maxims, printed at Lyon by Iacobus Giunta and attributed to Philippus Decius, with later editorial contributions, written for lawyers and students of jurisprudence. The four historiated initials show woodcut figures inside letterforms: a seated scribe-like man beside a large L, a bearded figure in profile within an M, a bearded man with a book-like pose inside a V, and a small child perched on an A with foliage.
