Treatise on the termination of purchase and sale contracts ("De rescindenda venditione"), authored by a notable legal advisor from Sesimbra. Aires Pinhel (ca. 1512/1515- ca. 1562) studied in Salamanca and obtained a doctorate in the city of Mondego, in Cesarean Law, having been appointed by King João III to teach at this University by charter of September 2, 1539, shortly after the definitive transfer of the University of Lisbon to Coimbra; he was judge of the Casa da Suplicação and, at the end of his career, prima professor at the University of Salamanca, replacing another Portuguese jurist, Manuel da Costa. The title page print represents the ecclesiastical arms of Cardinal D. Henrique, brother of King João III and future king of Portugal. Copy lightly trimmed, with the outside margins redone on the first 18 sheets (without affecting the text); four sheets with reinforcement in the inner margin; small central fault (20x4 mm) on sheet Q5, partially affecting some words in three lines. It is, however, complete and solid, with numerous annotations and underlines from the period, sometimes affected by the trimming. "Handwritten" property of the time, on the title page: Hieronymus (and stamp of Dr. Lopes Praça, in the lower margin). A slightly late interesting full sheepskin binding with blind tooling decoration on the covers and four gold florets on the sections of the spine, preserving the original endpapers. Anselmo, 825.
