    in-4, full brown mottled calfskin, spine with raised bands decorated, gilt title on burgundy morocco paper, mottled edges, roll on the edges, red and black title, headbands, tailpieces, initials, (slight rubbing on the binding, small damage to one corner, lower joint at the front cover slightly split, edges rubbed, foxing, slight acidification of the paper, library mark), (15)-450 p.
    Under this title, one actually finds an admirable legal treatise that is hardly cited today due to a lack of available copies in libraries (only two are known to exist in the world: one at the BNF and one at the Library of Congress). Dupin lacks it. The bookseller indicates, through an admirable metaphor ("Fruits that grow from the same soil, even if from different trees, always have the taste of the climate"), that Boniface, drawing very clearly and honestly on the Maxims of Scipion Duperier, adopts both its style and substance. “If we cannot definitively say that these new Decisions are by Mr. du Perier, as we discover in them the same delicacy in the choice of questions and the soundness of the reasons that support them, we will always judge that they proceed from a person who had the honor of associating with him, who absorbed the doctrine, nourished by the same essence, and who drew from the same source the light of his genius and erudition. [...] They [the Maxims] are supported by such formal authorities and such singular rulings that no one can doubt that they were compiled by an author of profound knowledge and consummate experience.”
