First, regarding its provenance, as indicated by the bookplate, it belonged, among others, to Arthur de la Borderie (1827-1901), a historian considered the father of Breton historiography. A handwritten note (19th century) on the front endpaper also indicates that previously \"this copy belonged to Mr. [Firmain] Laferrière, the learned professor of Law, who added several marginal notes to it.\" Second, concerning its contents, A. de la Borderie mentions in the frontispiece that it is a \"curious and rare collection – see the table of contents for the list of documents that specifically concern Brittany. Among these documents, all those marked with this sign '+' are not printed in D. Morice's *Preuves*. However, it should be noted that several of them are published elsewhere; for example, those relating to the Chamber of Accounts are found in La Gibonnais's *Recueil*.\" A rare and very important volume for the history of Brittany, and particularly for that of the nobility. Title III contains Duke Peter's ordinance forbidding commoners from owning noble lands; the famous Assize Court of Count Geffroy concerning the division of property among the nobility; and the decree of King Francis I declaring that judges and lawyers do not derogate from their noble status. Finally, Title IV, perhaps the most intriguing, contains valuable information on the history of customs and traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51963205353819,"sku":"31878","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0163\/5419\/files\/31878-1.jpg?v=1766931291","url":"https:\/\/www.memoiredudroit.fr\/en\/products\/31878-edicts-et-ordonnances-royaux","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
