Summary

Statutes of St. Gall in Switzerland. Translated into Raeto-Romance from German by Paidar p. Jovalta. Also contains several other works of similar character.

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.
   
• Translator'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, 1717 (p. v); second work, 1680 (p. 41); third work, 1712 (p. 1, second series); last work, 1716 (p. 15, second series). These are most likely dates of composition rather than the date of the copy. The entire manuscript appears to have been copied at about the same time, probably 1717 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.
   
• Brief unidentified dealer's description on file in the Library.
