    in-8, pl. ivory vellum of the period, portrait as frontispiece of F. Langot, Ex-Libris manuscript on p. of title, some headbands and initial letters, (cover faded, edges rubbed with small mq., some pinholes, rare worm work crossing the margins), [10 ff.]-724 p.-[3 ff.].
    In old law, "Style" refers to the procedure applicable before a court. This work is the best-known treatise on procedure written immediately after Colbert's ordinances. The Criminal Style is particularly interesting because it contains a model for magistrates of the principal procedural documents (request for permission to open an inquiry with the public prosecutor, official report of a complaint), and, more strikingly, forms for death sentences: sentence to have one's hand cut off and be burned alive, sentence to have one's tongue cut out and be hanged and burned, sentence to be broken on the wheel alive, sentence to strangulation, sentence to hanging after the application of ordinary and extraordinary torture, death sentence against a corpse, etc. This work thus constitutes an exceptional testimony to civil and criminal procedure in the mid-17th century. This extremely rare first edition is adorned with the magnificent portrait signed by François Langot, an engraver born in Melun in 1641 who engraved numerous prints, copies of works by Bloemaert, Rubens, and Gregory. The following dedication can be read at the bottom of the portrait: “If the engraver on the copper / Could engrave some line of virtue; / This illustrious portrait that you see in this book / Would undoubtedly be his portrait”.
