Présentation de l'éditeur
The unique character of the Hispanica A dvocatio among the legal writings of its time, in so far as it has a bearing on the task of the translator, deserves a word of comment here.

The citations may be conveniently classified under four heads references to the Civil Law, to the Canon Law, to Commentaries on the Civil or Canon Law, and to o
