Quarto, (6)-222-(25) pp., brown calfskin, ribbed spine (contemporary binding) First edition of the first major unifying ordinance commissioned by Colbert, relating to civil procedure; its aim is to standardise a procedure to be observed throughout the kingdom, from which no deviation of any kind is permitted. This no doubt explains the hostility that this ordinance—the interpretation of which was reserved for the king—was to provoke amongst various parliaments, particularly in the south of France. On compliance with the ordinances; On adjournments; On time limits for summonses and adjournments; Leave of absence and defaults in civil matters; Time limits and procedures in the Courts of Parliament, the Grand Council, and the Courts of Aides, at first instance; Inquiries; Cross-examination of witnesses; Recusal of judges, etc. Traces of a seal; traces of marginal damping.
