    Among the forms of 17th-century legal literature, two stand out as new compared to earlier periods: the “Institutes,” which most often follow the order of Justinian’s Institutes and compile the data of French law, and the “Maxims,” which, conversely, break free from the order of Roman law to present the issues they address according to a certain legal hierarchy. This is the case with the present volume, which begins with a study of the king’s rights, followed by seigneurial rights, and finally, the rights of individuals. This work first appeared in 1614. Its synthetic approach, the methodical exposition of the Maxims, and the high-quality explanations it provides have ensured its great renown and numerous editions, of which the one we have appears to be one of the last, supplemented by the Maxims relating to private law, which the author had not previously addressed. Pierre de L'Hommeau, who was an advisor to the king at the seneschal's court of Saumur, followed in Bodin's footsteps in political theory, advocating for the most absolute royal sovereignty possible. Sought after. Condition: Used.
