Book dealing with enactments issued against Jews (regarding loans, wills, inheritances, marriage and more) in Italy of the early 18th century.
The book's author, Joseph Sessa, was a judge who dealt with Jewish matters in Piedmont. In this project he deals with many laws which were enacted against the Jews in order to discriminate them from the non-Jews, to mark them as despised objects, to prevent all compassion towards them and to force them to live in a separate quarter. Latin and Italian.
[18], 387 pages, 33.5 cm. Good condition. Ownership inscriptions and handwritten comments. Non original half leather binding.
