Consulate of the Sea: title of a text of maritime customs of the Mediterranean basin, written in Barcelona in the second half of the 14th century. It is the work of a private jurist, who collected the customs that had gradually developed among seafarers who frequented the ports of Spain, Italy and France. Particularly notable is the influence of Italian maritime law, and in particular of Amalfi law and the customs of Pisa and Genoa. The text is written in a Catalan-type idiom. It is of great importance for the history of maritime law, both for the vastness of the subjects it embraces, and for the widespread influence it rapidly acquired, supplanting all the other relevant legislation and thus providing the basis for a common maritime law of the Mediterranean.

Casaregi Giuseppe Lorenzo Maria. Famous Ligurian jurist born in Genoa in 1670 and died in Florence in 1737. He practised law and taught civil law in Genoa. Auditor of Rota and counsellor of justice first in Siena, then in Florence, he is considered one of the founders of modern commercial law. His Discursus Legales de Commercio, a collection of dissertations and opinions on commercial and maritime matters, have lasting fame. Among his other works, Il Cambista istruito per ogni caso de' fallimenti, and the commentary on the Consolato del Mare.

Authors:   ALCIATI

Full parchment binding from the 18th century with leather inserts and gold title and decorations on the spine. Light uniform browning and ancient glosses and underlinings in the text. Andrea Alciati (1492 - 1550) was a humanist and jurist famous throughout Europe. He taught in Avignon, Bourges, Bologna, Pavia and Ferrara. Andrea Alciato (8 May 1492 - 12 January 1550) is considered the founder of the French school of humanist jurists. Alciati was born in Alzate Brianza, near Milan, and settled in France at the beginning of the 16th century. He demonstrated great literary skill in the exposition of the laws and was one of the first to interpret civil law through the history, languages and literature of antiquity and to replace the servile interpretations of the glossators with original research. He published many legal works and some notes on Tacitus and amassed a collection of Roman inscriptions from Milan and its territories, as part of his preparation for his History of Milan, written in 1504-05.
