The text presented here is extremely rare. The work contains a pagination error, the last numbered page being p. 575 and the preceding one p. 570, but there is no missing text. It is one of the major texts of 16th-century Roman law doctrine. Gravina, in his Spirit of the Roman Laws, emphasizes that \"Hotman, extremely versed in both sacred and secular antiquity, perverted, through his apostasy, the good qualities he had received from nature. He began to point out the faults of the jurists of the school of Accursius and Bartholomew, to censure the order of the books of law bearing the seal of antiquity, and to devise his own.\" This drew sharp criticism from Cujas, his only worthy rival. Hotman, in turn, attacked him sometimes covertly, sometimes openly, sparking less a full-blown argument between these two illustrious men than an anger that soon subsided.
