    This stunning 16th-century canon law collection is a true treasure for history and book lovers! The detailed woodcuts, including the printer’s marks and full-page illustrations, add incredible charm. Despite minor missing leaves, the craftsmanship and historical significance shine through. Holding a piece of legal and printing history from 1513 feels awe-inspiring—perfect for collectors who appreciate rare, antique texts. The binding of multiple works by Jean Petit makes it even more special. A remarkable find!
