Abstract:

A discourse on the codes of justice, focusing on laws of virtues and morals. Consists of 17 disputations split into numbered and titled sections, with an index at the end. Topics covered in these disputations include deeds, canon law, games and wagers, insurance, gifts, wills, sales, homicide, usury, lawsuits, and the nature of justice. Appears to be more of a philosophical work on the nature of justice and laws, rather than a list of the laws themselves. Consists of numbered disputations, which contain numbered sections within breaking down the argument and solution. Has a table of contents at the end.
