The author, whose name appears as "Guilielmo Durando", "Guillelmus Durandus", "GUILLELMUS DURANTI" and other variants, was born near Beziers in Southern France. He studied law in Bologna. Pope Clement V appointed him as auditor generalis of the Rota Romana. He attended the Second Council of Lyon in 1274. In 1286 he became bishop of Mende, after fulfilling several other high functions. He was the author of an encyclopedic work on legal procedure. The earliest printed versions of his work seem to be from about 1477 -- this copy of course is from 1565. On the title page there is a name crossed out -- quite an old handwriting & equally old cross-out; illegible now. Text in Latin.
