Summary

Statutes of Bergün, Switzerland, as revised in 1614 (p. vi), in a 17th-century Raeto-Romance translation, followed by a copy of a new Chiarta da la Lia (federal charter relating to the Three Leagues) and several other works of similar character (contents information provided by Antonia Bertschinger).

Notes

• Ms. codex.
   
• Title from caption title (p. v). Second word of title misspelled "criminaeles" in Zacour-Hirsch. The first work is also given the title "Ils statuts in chiossas criminaelas dalg hundro comoen da Brawoing in alta rhaetia" (p. 1).
   
• Title from label on cover: Statuta criminalia et civilia communitatis Burgunniensis.
   
• Scribe's note: "Copios, e defantts gio dalg Original in quaist praesent Cudasch da me, Peidar p. Jovalta ... 1717, die 19 Augusti" (p. v).
   
• The first three and last works are dated: first work, 1614 (p. vii); second work, 1680 (p. 41); third work, 1712 (p. 1, second series); last work, 1716 (p. 15, second series). These are dates of composition rather than the date of the copy. The entire manuscript appears to have been copied at about the same time, 1717 (p. v) or soon after, since this is the latest date mentioned in the texts. There are additions in a later hand on pp. 83-86, dated 1719-1724. The additions on p. 12 (second series) are undated.
