Rochus Curtius or Rocco Corti (fl. 1470-1515), Jurist, Glosser and canonist, natural of Florence, reader of Laws at the University of Pavia. Its treatise "De jure patronatus", brings together a set of observations and reflections on the canonical laws relating to the patronage (or patronage) exercised by members of the Catholic Church, including privileges, commendations, forums and other mordomies; The comments of Rochus Curtius, initially published in 1506, were considered the main text on this relevant and delicate topic, so they were republished several times in the 16th and 17th centuries. The edition, entirely two columns composed in Gothic characters, presents in the title page the elaborate mark of the editor and "Honestissimus uirus" François Regnault. On the verso of folio LXXXVII (ass. L8), a colophon tells us the precise date of the printing finishing: "Anno a natiuitate dñi [domini] millesimo qui[n]gentesimo. xiiij. me[n]sis vero Junij. decimaqui[n]ta. Laus deo". A somewhat trimmed copy, with three handwritten ownerships on the cover page, of former Portuguese owners (two scratched); Occasional handwritten marginal notes of the time, sometimes damaged by the trimming. Simple, 19th century binding with leather spine and corners.
